Solomon Williams

A stand-up edge player that can get after the quarterback. Racked up 32 tackles for loss and 15.5 sacks in 10 games as a junior for a talented Carrollwood Day squad. Believed to be hovering right around 6-foot-2, 250 pounds – although size hasn’t been verified. Explosive athlete that can dunk a basketball. Uses his first step to daze opposing linemen and then get to work. Can win with a simple bullrush, but has also flashed the ability to bend while running the arc. Pretty fluid for someone for someone of his stature and can redirect as he tries to flush out pockets. Doesn’t lack a motor and will keep the legs pumping to make stops outside the hashes. Overall, should be viewed as a productive pass rusher with developmental upside. Will need to eventually get better with the hands, but already has some juice and power, which is key. Likely going to need a year or two to get adjusted to the speed and demands of Power Five football, but could be featured early on in situational packages that are rolled out on obvious passing downs. Being recruited by most schools to crash off the perimeter, but could shift more inside depending on how the body fills out over the next few years.
