UK commit Williams making most of opportunities

T.V. Williams hasn't been able to get as many touches as he hoped in the first half of his senior season but he's making the most of his opportunities.

McKinney (Tex.) is 3-2 and coming off a tough loss to Ryan (Tex.) so it's in a good position to finish strong. Williams, UK's speedy slot receiver commit, has had limited touches this fall but he's making the most of his opportunities.

Williams had 18 receptions for 350 yards and six touchdowns through the first four games of the year, so he's scoring a touchdown every third time he gets his hands on the ball.

"We've got some younger quarterbacks and we're a younger team so I've struggled to get the ball," Williams said this week. "It's definitely a little frustrating but I'm making the most of it. I'm keeping in touch with Thad (Snodgrass) and he's kind of in the same situation with his team struggling. Sometimes we'll catch up after games and just let it out."

The three-star receiver said he has been following Kentucky's season closely and thinks it has been a mixed bag. But he also believes the team is doing as well as it can.

"They're playing great. The defense is playing great but the offense is struggling," he said. "They're going to be fine. They've got a lot of guys on offense, like quarterbacks, running backs and receivers, that weren't really recruited to play in that wide open offense."

Williams will be taking his official visit to Kentucky after the season with most of the rest of his class. That will be on December 14. But he also plans to unofficially visit Kentucky once again when the Wildcats take on Alabama in October.

In the meantime he's doing a little recruiting for the Wildcats down in the Lone Star State.

"Coach (Tommy) Mainord said they're not really recruiting any more 2014 guys in Texas but there's a quarterback in 2015 (Jarrett Stidham) that we're trying to get. So I try to talk to him a little bit," he said.

Since Williams committed to Kentucky other schools have continued to recruit him, notably Nebraska and Iowa, but Williams said he is 100 percent on board with the Wildcats.
