Lets get him. Gotta have one strong DE this year.

[au_bsci_04 407]

I personally think the only DE we sign this year is Channing Ward, and I'm not too upset about that

Well you guys brought him up and I just got this tweet from Luggy...ESPNU 150 DT Leonard Williams has accepted his Under Armour All-American game invite.

We are in very good shape with Williams after his recent visit!

i would take leonard williams over any DE prospect we are in on right now. except for spence but hes a bit of a longshot. williams motor just doesnt give up. dudes a beast.

[mustache eagle 2,410]

if we only take 1-2 DE this year like has been discussed and we are in the running for a handful of top notch (4 & 5 star) guys ... plus months to go ... we will get a very talented 1-2 DE ... fill in the name on signing day.  i like it.  LW could be it and I would be thrilled with a florida kid.  also seems like we are recruiting the same 5-8 kids like 5-8 other top notch schools.  stands to reason that we will all get at least 1 of our preferred recruits.  sounds good to me

[auburn4ever 1,266]

I'd take either one.

Posts in this thread are unclear as to whether LW could/would play DE &/or DT. If he can play inside it would seem to raise his stock insofar as AU numbers are concerned.

I believe he is a DE.

His size and speed are intriguing and seems to have a tremendous upside, but he has some bad habits that will need correcting. He has difficulty shedding blocks and tends to wait for the ball carrier. Both are correctable, but like I said he seems to have a tremendous upside if those correctable habits can be cured.

He reminds me of Sen'Derrick Marks.

#71 on Rivals Top 100.  DT, Leonard Williams lists Auburn in his Top 4.

Bring him on in Coach Pelton!!!

Are we recruiting him at DT, or DE??

[Sidbowman 0]

Who are the other 3 schools?

[Orange and Blue 17211345162833 0]

He lists USC, UF, and FSU as the other 3 he's planning on taking official visits to.

WE ARE RECRUITING HIM AT DT PER RIVALS

[au_bsci_04 407]

I have a feeling that there could be some switching around between guys like Shanks, Goldman, Williams, etc. They are all listing the same schools as their top 3-5. We will get our share.

He looks mean.

[auburn4ever 1,266]

Most likely we're recruiting him for DT. However, he'd also fit in very nicely at DE.

I know the headline of this particular topic says he listed us in his top 4, but this is a guy I really want and I was wondering if there was any new news on him?

[WDE01 0]

WOW... how hard are we recruiting this guy? His film is VERY impressive. He looks like a guy that could step in, and play from day one,.... provide some depth in that middle...

i tweeted with a guy who covers that area of FL and he told me that Leonard Williams, when asked about who he has the best relationship with, said Pelton from Auburn. He loves the AU staff and Pelton and HE calls Pelton every week. This was about a month ago.

I feel pretty confident that he ends up at AU.
