Being in better shape and spending more time on film study has enabled Tyleik Williams to become one of Ohio State’s most productive defenders so far this season.
What’s allowed Williams to turn his flashes of talent into more consistent production so far this season? For one, the 6-foot-2, 290-pound defensive tackle feels he’s in the best shape of his career.
Williams has done all of that despite suffering a knee injury on the first day of preseason camp. He’s still not fully recovered from that injury, but he hasn’t let it affect his play on the field. “I thought there was actually times where he got better as the game went on,” Day said. “He's got power, he's got strength at the point of attack. He's very athletic. And he missed a little bit of time with a little bit of a tweaked injury at the beginning of preseason. And I think now he's finally got his feet back underneath him. I think he's doing a better job with his hands. He's powerful, he's athletic.
Williams says that’s enabled him to be successful on a weekly basis this season even though the Buckeyes have already played a variety of different offenses. With his improved work ethic on and off the field, Williams is showing he can be a star on Ohio State’s interior defensive line. He’s been trusted with playing the most snaps at his position in every game so far this year, and he’s embracing the role of being a leader now that he’s an upperclassman.
