Williams a familiar face at PSU -

Quote:

There is little guess work when it comes to the Penn State staff and Norfolk (Va.) Lake Taylor linebacker Travis Williams. Williams has attended the Nittany Lions’ football camp every summer since he was in eighth grade so the Penn staff knows him well.

Williams plans to be back in State College this summer to attend Penn State’s camp one more time. This time, however, Williams will arrive with a scholarship offer from the Nittany Lions in hand.

“I’ve got about six or seven offers that I know of,” Williams said. “But my coaches said I have some more. The ones I know I have are Louisville, North Carolina State, North Carolina, Penn State, West Virginia and Virginia Tech.”

There is no doubt the Nittany Lions are targeting Stamford, Ct., linebacker Khairi Fortt. Fortt has already said one of his official visits will be to Penn State and the Nittany Lions have to be considered the favorite to land Fortt.

However, another linebacker Penn State fans should not forget about is Travis Williams from Norfolk (Va.) Lake Taylor.

The 6-foot-2 and 195-pound Williams has been a varsity starter since his freshman year. He made 56 tackles including 15 sacks during his junior season. Williams had 20 sacks as a freshman and 22 his sophomore year.

Kurelic’s Comment: Williams says he has no favorites at this point, but it seems the Nittany Lions have as good a shot as anyone.

By Mike Farrell. Travis has yet to set up any visits but wants to do so....says it is difficult playing his games Friday night because most of the college games he wants to attend are noon games on Saturday, like Miami (FL)-Oklahoma. Still focused (no specific order) on Miami (FL), WVU, PSU, Tennessee, North Carolina, and LSU.

By Mike Farrell. Top schools are Miami (FL), UNC, and WVU....Travis has always liked the Hurricanes and says that both UNC and WVU standout because of the recruiters. PSU is out because Travis hasn't played safety and a lack of contact, LSU is out because of depth, and Tennessee isn't the right fit. Focusing on school and thinking about scheduling some visits, but none are planned.
