Corey Williams
Defensive Tackle
Arkansas State
6'3" - 313
OVERVIEW
Tough, physical run stuffer who teamed with Jon Bradley to form one of the best defensive tackle tandems in the South ... Type of player that you have to tear the jersey off of, as he played through several nagging injuries the last two years, refusing to leave the field until forced to by the Arkansas State coaching staff ... Began his career as a linebacker, moving to defensive end after the first two games of his freshman year ... Played strongside end as a freshman and then shifted to the weakside the following year ... Was again moved, this time to defensive tackle for his final two campaigns ... Started 34 of 43 games for the Indians, recording 136 tackles (84 solos) with 14.5 sacks for minus-105 yards, 27.5 stops for losses of 140 yards, three forced fumbles, two fumble recoveries and three pass deflections.
ANALYSIS
Has a big chest, with broad shoulders, long muscular arms, wide hips, good bubble and a thick lower torso with a frame that has the potential to add at least another 15 pounds of muscle mass ... Shows quickness and urgency coming off the snap ... Has the power to stack and hold the pile at the line of scrimmage, doing a good job of defeating combo blocks with his leg drive and club moves ... Shows good hand usage to gain leverage, getting into the blocker's chest with force to gain leverage and separate ... Has the foot agility needed to work his way down the line and the lateral movements to make plays coming from the back side ... Decisive in pursuit, maintaining a low pad level to drive with his legs in attempts to shove the lead blocker back through the rush lanes ... Displays impressive power behind his hits ... Has a burst to knife into the backfield and the acceleration to zero-in on the quarterback once he penetrates ... Hard worker in the weight room ... Maintains body control on the move and has the leg base needed to maintain position at the point of attack.
AGILITY TESTS
5.21 in the 40-yard dash ... 1.8 10-yard dash ... Bench presses 225 pounds 25 times ... 28-inch vertical jump ... 8-foot-10 broad jump ... 4.58 20-yard shuttle ... 7.97 three-cone drill ... 33 3/8-inch arm length ... 101/4-inch hands.
HIGH SCHOOL
Attended Harmony Grove (Ark.) High, competing as a defensive end, fullback, linebacker, punter and kicker ... Helped the team to records of 7-3, 9-2 and 10-2 ... Team's leading tackler as a junior and senior ... Rushed for 1,473 yards on 299 attempts ... Three-time all-district pick, adding all-state honors as a senior ... Recorded 149 tackles (62 solos) with two sacks, six forced fumbles, one blocked kick, recovered three fumbles and had four interceptions with seven pass deflections as a senior ...
