Calvert Hall WR Williams commits to West Virginia
Ask Calvert Hall football coach Donald Davis about wide receiver Trevor Williams' merits, and Davis pauses for a breath before beginning his answer.
The laundry list Davis rattles off is a big reason Williams committed to West Virginia on Thursday.
"As a receiver, he's got all the components," Davis ultimately concluded. "He fits all the criteria [coaches] are looking for. He can play in any offense."
Those components include speed, intelligence, deft route running, reliable hands, strong blocking and the ability to contribute in the return game.
"Overall, he's one of the best prospects I've ever had," Davis said of the 6-foot-2, 190-pound rising senior after confirming his commitment. "He's certainly the best wide receiver prospect I've ever had."
Williams couldn't immediately be reached for comment. Davis said his player's decision came down to West Virginia and Toledo, and that they were waiting to see if Penn State would offer a scholarship.
Calvert Hall wide receivers coach Chris Cook echoed Davis' praise for Williams.
"He makes defenders miss," Cook said. "He's very explosive, and he can score from anywhere on the field.
"I think [West Virginia] is an excellent fit for him. He'll have the opportunity to play right away. They run a wide open offense, and that's the ideal fit for him."
