For weeks now rumors have been running wild about 2015 running back Dexter Williams' commitment to the University of Miami.
Williams, Jordan Cronkrite, and Jordan Scarlett are all currently committed to Miami for the class of 2015. Three elite running backs and possibly a fourth if Mark Walton gets reclassified like he is currently trying to do.
If all four guys somehow wind up signing with Miami come February, getting carries is going to be in question for all four guys with so much talent and depth on the roster. What does Dexter Williams have to think about this?
"If they sign all four of us, it would not really matter to me to be honest. Football is competition and you always have to fight for your position. All of us would be a great set of backs so I mean we could really do some great things on the next level. I mean we all will just have to get used to it," said Williams.
The four running backs just finished competing at Nike's 'The Opening' in Oregon and Williams says the group of backs got to hang out and talk a little bit about the whole situation.
"I guess you could say that we came to a conclusion that the best man wins you know? But aside from that, we are all excited that we are committed to 'The U' and we just plan on doing big things together," said Williams
However, for Williams, his situation is a little different than the other three backs. Williams is being recruited more as an athlete. Miami is planning on using him out of the backfield, using a little motion with him, and even lining him up at slot on certain occasions.
"I mean (the coaches) tell me they like how versatile I am and the different ways they want to use me. They said they like how I can catch the ball and be explosive with it which makes me excited knowing they want to use me in different ways," said Williams.
However, Williams has to take all things into consideration when it comes to recruiting, especially what his family thinks about where he goes. It also just so happens, his family is full of die-hard Florida Gators fans.
"My family would prefer I go to UF for sure. I mean, my whole family is Gator fans. All the way back to my granddad it has been Gators, Gators, Gators in my family. I mean I just got off the plane from Oregon and my dad asked me if I was thinking about the Gators," said Williams.
"When I committed back at the spring game my family was definitely supporting me because when it comes down to it, as long as I get to play on the next level they are happy."
Just over a month ago, Williams said he was 80% committed to Miami. As of now he says he is 90% committed to Miami but still would like to visit USC and Michigan.
