Notre Dame wide receiver target Brian Williams Jr. getting rave reviews from trainer
Notre Dame wide receiver target Brian Williams Jr. getting rave reviews from trainer Highly touted wide receiver Brian Williams Jr. is impressing a lot of schools, including Notre Dame, this offseason.
Class of 2026 wide receiver Brian Williams Jr. has been turning heads since the beginning of the year, and it's no surprise to his trainer Kevin Wheeler.
The Notre Dame target has been working out with the founder of HD Performance, and the Florida native's drive and determination have stood out.
"He loves the position, he loves learning, he loves football and he's getting better," Wheeler said. "I've seen his consistency and his discipline and commitment to continue to work on his craft and get better as far as route-running, releases, learning coverages, and just learning all the nuances of playing the position. So that's what separates him from a lot of guys."
The 6-foot-4, 185-pound Lake Mary High School (Lake Mary, FL) three-star product (No. 756 overall in the 247Sports Composite) shined in February's Under Armour Regional in Orlando, and then a ton of offers from major programs such as Notre Dame, Florida, Florida State, Alabama and Auburn followed.
Williams Jr. has already taken an official visit to Penn State and was at Florida this weekend. He will visit Alabama next weekend and Kentucky after that before an official visit to Notre Dame on June 20 with hopes that he will be joining his current teammate and Irish quarterback commit Noah Grubbs sometime soon.
"He continues to grow and grow and grow," Wheeler said. "Like I said, his ceiling is just untapped. He could be very, very special. He's a special guy. He could be very, very good."
