The running back is arguably the biggest question mark over Notre Dame’s attack, and over the next month the Irish attack needs at least two of the full-backs to step into the limelight.
A player competing for this role is in second year Kyren williams, a talented double-threat running back who hopes to beat a number of older players for touches this season. Notre Dame Head Coach Brian kelly spoke about Williams at his last zoom press conference.
Williams has shown up with impressive players before in the workout clips posted by Notre Dame. You can see the reshaped body Kelly is talking about, you can see the breakout Kelly talked about, and you can see the home running ability Williams showed in high school in this clip. It’s here:
Williams was an exceptional runner and passer coming out of high school. In May, Irish Breakdown wrote that Williams was potentially an ascendant player for the Irish in 2020 thanks to his skill mix. You can read this analysis HERE.
Out of St. Louis, Williams traveled over 3,000 yards and racked up over 2,000 yards during his stellar prep career. He stood out last spring, but the depth map allowed Notre Dame to preserve him for a season in 2019. Now Williams is using that year of experience to work his way through the depth map.
