Alabama & Georgia early favorites for Brookwood’s Williams
The Atlanta Journal-Constitution

Brookwood offensive tackle Kellen Williams has attended junior days at Alabama and Georgia.
Now, the 6-foot-5, 288-pounder can only wait and hope that scholarship offers from the Crimson Tide, Dogs and other powerhouses arrive this spring.
“I’m talking to Alabama, Georgia, Vanderbilt, Clemson, Wake Forest, Florida and pretty much all the other SEC and ACC schools,” said Williams, who has offers from Central Florida and UAB. “And Notre Dame has become interested. They’ve started sending me stuff.”
Williams’ next offer could arrive as early as this weekend in Nashville, Tenn.
“I’m going to Vanderbilt on Saturday,” he said. “Me and my family are anticipating an offer from Vandy. They asked for my transcript last week.”
Williams is a longtime fan of both Alabama and Georgia.
“I grew up a fan of Georgia,” he said. “And I went to an Alabama game when I was a little kid and became a fan of that program. So, I’ve got a thing for Alabama.
“When I was at junior day in Tuscaloosa, [Alabama] coach [Nick] Saban pulled me and my family into his office for about 40 minutes and talked about the kind of character in players he’s looking for.”
Williams, who has dropped about 25 pounds since last season, is being primarily recruited at tackle.
Right now, it’s at offensive tackle,” he said. “But I’m what they call a tweener because I’m between a guard and tackle in size.”
