Zayne Williams – RB

Scouting Report

Zayne has the physical tools and skill set to develop into one of this class’ more well-rounded college backs. He’s very productive and consistent and has prototypical size with his good height and thickly-built frame. His blend of size, speed and deceptive lateral quickness is excellent. Zayne is a patient runner who excels in zone schemes. He picks and darts his way through the initial traffic showing good stop-start, sharp cutting and change-of-direction skill for a runner with his bulk and thick lower-body. He can be difficult to arm tackle when he squares up and bursts downhill out of his cuts.  He breaks initial tackles and maintains his balance. Zayne shows flashes of being a strong, downhill runner. He can make the first defender miss and can be elusive in space. He shows good acceleration and top-end speed when he breaks free in the secondary. Great hands and polished receiving skills make him more coveted as a running back prospect. The bottom line is, Zayne is potentially the complete package at the next level and an every down, durable back who could carry the load. He still looks to have a ton of physical development left.
