Etowah’s Williams leaning toward S. Carolina

Etowah’s Elliot Williams continues to mull over a series of major college scholarship choices.
“He’s got offers from South Carolina, Maryland, Illinois and Auburn,” Etowah coach Bill Stewart said on Wednesday. “But he’s interested in South Carolina. That is kind of at the top of his list.”
The 6-foot-5, 270-pound Williams, who is scheduled to visit the Gamecocks in January, played on both sides of the line of scrimmage for the Eagles this season.
“He’ll either be a defensive lineman or an offensive tackle in college,” Stewart said. “I really don’t know where he will fall as far as that goes.
“He runs to the football. For a tall man, he’s got a good motor and can run.”

Tennessee entering the picture for Thompson
Tennessee is making a late run at 6-foot-2, 290-pound defensive tackle Brandon Thompson of Thomasville.
Thompson confirmed Wednesday evening that he’s considering Clemson, Georgia Tech, LSU and the Volunteers.
He is scheduled to visit Clemson this weekend.
As for the Tech coaching change, Thompson claims it hasn’t harmed the Jackets’ chances of gaining his commitment.
“It doesn’t change my feelings about them,” he said.
Stockbridge’s King headed to Orlando
Stockbridge running back Vance King committed to Central Florida during a visit to the Orlando campus last weekend.
“First off, I really like the coaching staff and, of course, coach [George] O’Leary,” King said Wednesday evening. “But the most important thing is the academic support they have.
“And the weather, man. It was 87 degrees down there on [Sunday].”
The 6-foot-1, 195-pound King, who was also considering Purdue and Vanderbilt, headed to Orlando last weekend know he would likely commit to the Golden Knights during the visit.
“Yeah, I kind of had that in the back of my mind, but I wanted to see the facility before I committed,” he said.
King plans to enroll at CFU next summer.
