You just got one of the best running backs in the country today.
New From The Post Top Recruit Williams Picks Penn State

After navigating through one of most intense recruiting battles in Maryland high school football history, Eleanor Roosevelt High School star Derrick Williams announced today that he will play football for Penn State University.
"That whole state is Joe Paterno's state," Williams said in his live televised announcement today, referring to the Nittany Lions' legendary head coach. "It's a great school. The facilities, the people and the alumni -- all of that was great."
He'll play WR at PSU not runningback, but this is a huge coup for ol' JoePA.
With Morelli QBing (rated by almost everyone ahead of Chad Henne, Michigan's starting Qb as a freshman. I saw them both in HS and it wasn't even that close.) and two of the best underclassman RBs in the country, Penn State will make some noise in '05, with a legit title run in '06 unless the NCAA finds another way to screw Paterno.
This space reserved for BTP......If he ever wins it.
Maybe in three to four years the Redskins will draft him!
Seriously though, I don't know much about college football, but go Penn State... I used to live in PA.
"Guess [Ryan Kerrigan] really does have a good motor. And is relentless. And never quits on a play. And just keeps coming. And probably eats Wheaties and drinks Apple Pie smoothies and shaves with Valvoline." -Dan Steinberg DC Sports Bog
