Class of 2024 Westlake Village (CA) Oaks Christian wide receiver is one of the most coveted prospects in California. The 6-4 wideout holds offers from Boston College, Indiana, Michigan State, Pittsburgh, Syracuse, Utah, Washington and Washington State, among others. Williams, the son of former Orange standout tight end Roland Williams, recently visited Syracuse.

"The visit went great," Williams said. "Everyone was extremely nice to me. While I was on campus, I visited all of the football facilities and most of the academic campus. I think both the facilities and the campus are top of the line, especially with all the new construction that has and is going to take place. The atmosphere is what really stands out to me. How everyone is extremely welcoming and very kind."

During the visit, Williams was able to spend time and bond with the Syracuse coaches.

"All of them said mostly the same things," Williams said. "That 'we are excited to have you here' and 'let's build a future here at Syracuse.'

Any offer is exciting for high school prospects. The one from Syracuse, though, being his dad's alma mater, was especially meaningful.

"It was super special for me," Williams said. "I thought of it as a full circle moment. My dad is my number one fan so any school that's recruiting me he is fine with. But this being his alma mater makes it just a little bit more special because he knows how life as a student-athlete will be like."

Williams says he has a lot of interest in the Orange.

"I'm always open to any school that is recruiting me, but Syracuse is definitely more towards the top of my list," Williams said. "I will be taking an official in the next upcoming months."

The date for that official has not been finalized yet.

Title: Publisher All Syracuse Education: Roberts Wesleyan College Location: Syracuse, New York Expertise: Syracuse basketball, football and recruiting. EXPERIENCE Mike McAllister has been covering Syracuse basketball, football and recruiting for more than a decade. Mike's career started with his own free blog as a way to vent following sporting events. Shortly thereafter, a network of basketball sites called Coast 2 Coast Hoops asked him to run their Syracuse site. That site was called Nation of Orange, and Mike quickly established it as a go-to for Syracuse fans. After running Nation of Orange for several months, a position with the Syracuse site on the Scout network became available. After one year as the recruiting expert with Cuse Nation, he was named the publisher. Mike oversaw the transition from Scout to 247Sports, and ran the site on that network for years. Presented with the opportunity to join one of the biggest names in the sports journalism industry, Sports Illustrated, Mike jumped at the chance. All Syracuse was started from scratch by Mike and the Fan Nation team. It has now become a staple for Orange fans of various sports. Mike has broken news on recruiting, Syracuse basketball and football team information and has established himself as the top recruiting inside in the market. He has appeared on local radio shows, television broadcasts, national radio shows and much more. Mr. McAllister has a Bachelor of Science Degree in Accounting and Information Management from Roberts Wesleyan College.
