Title: A proven blocker, Williams wants to shine as a receiver
Post by: pmull on August 09, 2011, 08:05:26 AM
You can't miss Michael Williams on the football field.

The Pickens County High School graduate from Reform stands a full 6-foot-6 and is a wide-shouldered 269 pounds.

Williams, a junior tight end, is hoping University of Alabama quarterbacks can't miss him this season.

"He's a 6-6 target that really creates mismatches for everybody," freshman quarterback Phillip Sims said. "There's no safety that's that tall or big, no linebacker that can run like him." 

 To date, Williams has been a valuable contributor as a blocker for the Crimson Tide. He has just 11 career receptions, however, including eight last season for 100 yards and a touchdown. He yearns to play a bigger part in the passing game.
