Have any Samford fans heard the deal on this kid? He supposedly is just barely staying eligible and neglecting his studies. He thinks he is getting drafted like the other Samford DBs before him but his senior film is not nearly as good as his junior film. He is missing tackles and picks. He has good stats but still not overly impressive. I watched a couple games this week and he looks like a camp body. I doubt he graduates in May like he needs to. He has talent but has underachieved on film. I would be surprised now if he gets a combine invite. I had him as a possible late round pick on my board from last year but now I have him as a free agent.

Have any Samford insiders on here heard any of this? I talked to 5 teams and none of them have him anywhere near the draftable range.

I am certainly not a Samford fan. I am; however, a fan of FCS Student Athletes & I find this sort of public rumormongering about any FCS Student Athlete highly objectionable.

After their eligibility is complete or they have declared themselves effectively ineligible, then I think you & other draftniks, pundits, pro’s, or semi-pro’s, or whatever are mostly inbounds to speculate around, opine, & publish this sort of material. But certainly not about a Student Athlete whose Team is in a Playoff run, is about to be honored at his Sr Day next week, and, if I’m not mistaken, was injured in the Chattanooga game.

I’m fairly confident no true Samford Fan / “Insider” will respond to your query & I’m actually hopeful that you might rethink your post & delete it or that an Admin might delete it for you.

Here is why I bring this up. Williams is a smart dude. He has the ability. He was very good as a junior. I liked his film. I have said it before. I brought this up to ask if your people have heard about his attitude. Apparently he is not taking school seriously and bought into his own hype. He has said that because White, Bradberry, Tartt, etc have been drafted that he will definitely be the next Samford DB drafted. He thinks he has to leave school to go train and has become a diva. Williams has ability and can play CB but he has played some safety this year and not looked good at all. I have seen some bad drops and seen him take poor angles on tackles. It is almost like the good player I saw in 2016 became full of himself and read clippings and is not the same player. I expect him to repeat as 1st-team All-SoCon but I would not put him on an All-America team.

The post can be deleted if you want but I have good sources and have been on campus. Williams was on pace to get his degree this year but is no longer on pace to.

I don't read team boards. Ask around and see if you are hearing the diva mess for Williams as well. It is puzzling because he has had good grades in the past and comes from a good home. I was really surprised. He went from my sleeper in the preseason to someone I would not want in my team's camp now unless he changes his attitude.

delete this thread .. period. The kid is a college student-athlete, not a professional. Zero need to call him out like this. Lots of kids struggle to finish college.

This isn't censorship .. this is basic decency. Putting the kids name in header is a unacceptable.

I did not say he was struggling to finish out of lack of ability. I said he has basically quit on classes and is not putting in the effort. Omari is a very capable. I meant to ask the question to Samford folks because I'm very disappointed in the fact he is not giving his best effort and basically already thinks he is a NFL player. He was on pace to graduate in May but now he would have to change his approach just to get done in December of of 2018. If he pulls out of college in December and goes to train he will need another year to finish from what I'm told.

He is just a junior so teams are not looking at him heavily. We usually only watch juniors if they have gaudy production like the Fordham RB did or Watson at Penn.

I think some people here are taking this out of context.

Williams as an athlete with openly expressed aspirations for the NFL has subjected himself to examination by the scouts. His performance in college is essientially his job interview for the NFL. If I was interviewing a candidate for a posistion and I noticed a lack of effort (because SCFBF is concerned about effort, not ability) I would want to know about it as well.

A lack of effort shouldn't merit sympathy. Work ethic and ability are ENTIRELY different entities.

If you were interviewing a candidate for a position & you sought this kind of information (publicly or privately) without the candidate’s written permission to do so, specifically for the position for which you were hiring, you would be violating the Fair Credit Reporting Act (FCRA). Thus, if any adverse decisions/ actions resulted from your illegal gathering of such information causing damages to the candidate, you would be subject to:
* Actual or statutory damages;
* Attorney's fees;
* Court costs; and,
* Punitive damages if the violation was willful.

I’m doubtful that Mr. Williams has provided such permission to SmallCollegeFBFan or anyone else on this board.

SCFBF, if you are that disappointed with Omari, why don't you discuss it with the our coaches, and NOT smear the kid's name across AGS? After all you said, "I have been on campus, and have good sources." I'm the primary Samford poster on here, and I don't know enough about the situation to offer anything. If I knew something negative would I post it here? Of course not. The only thing I could add is that three games ago he made 9 tackles, 2 pass breakups, and a spectacular athletic interception in the end zone to seal our Wofford win. The two games since, he has been injured. Therefore, it seems to me that this thread is not only disrespectful, it was moot pointed to begin with.

Those making the posts in question can chenge their own posts as well. You figure out what level of decency should be exercised on this matter on your own if you would because I don't really know what is right on this one without knowing more about it...but I don't want more about it posted if it isn't public...get my conundrum here?

If this isn't public, fix it.

You can always make a post that says "I have a couple of question about a Samford player I would like to ask someone in the know from Samford about" and do it via a pm..thereby still utilizing the board as your easy button to get the information you seek.

I do not think it appropriate on a board like this for calling out a player for issues like this, I do have several comments about the general situation.

At many schools in FCS, especially those like Samford, graduation rates, APR performance, and other metrics are highly valued by school administrators. At other schools, especially in FBS these metrics are less valued, and in some cases ethically fraudulent (UNC). The facts are that at some schools, athletes leave once their eligibility is over and their second semester scholarships given to "grayshirts". Many athletes "give up" academically during their last semester. Many athletes have unrealistic expectations about the NFL.

The Citadel had a player drop out of school so that he could train for the NFL draft this spring. A real WTF moment since most of us would assume that playing football on a team is the best NFL preparation. There probably is a back story and I doubt we'll see him playing on Sunday.

On a somewhat related topic, how many graduate transfers actually complete a post-graduate degree?

JSU .. at same time, it would appear you agree there should be a line drawn somewhere on stuff like this or no ? In this case, i just don't think it should matter that this kid actually has realistic NFL aspirations .. versus the 1,000's that have unrealistic NFL aspirations and are using colleges that are using them to play/win football games. To me, either way, it doesn't matter .. I think it's wrong to openly discuss something like this on a pubic forum .. particularly with his name in thread header.

Sympathy has nothing to do with it .. privacy and basic mind our own business - he did not put himself out there for this. On that note, I still find it funny that the OP mis-spelled disappointed.

I like how you made this whole post trying to make it sound like I agree with you and completely ignored the most important part of my post.

There is a line. If the guy was struggling due to a lack of ability and SCFF was spewing stuff without having the sources he claims to have, then yes, I would agree that this topic is not suitable.

HOWEVER, this conversation is stems from a players alleged lack of effort and work ethic.

I do question why he would bring the conversation here if he has his sources at Samford but I don't take major issue with it.

"Effort" in the classroom or on the field - who is measuring that, and how are they getting that done? The kid has been battling through an injury, and maybe that has effected everything for him. Maybe he is taking a load of classes that are harder than anything he has ever taken before. Maybe he broke up with his girlfriend. Maybe a million other things. I have a daughter in college who does not play sports. I try to be fair and objectionable regarding the effort I think she is putting forth until I see her grades at the end of the semester. Consequences (bad) or rewards (good) come at that time.

If the guy has dropped out of classes and is getting kicked off the team, or if he has broken laws and gotten in trouble - then there should be a thread. You know - something concrete to go on.

I appreciate the info. as I do not attend any of those sorts of sites but as Wally mentioned it just doesn't really seem appropriate to me to be a thing being done on this board really. It could have been done the way I suggested and would have been the more decent action. I am sure scff is not trying to demean the kid but if it comes off that way then I would think the person putting it up might want to rethink the action was what I am hoping would occur.

For whatever reason this just feels a little dirty on the AGS soul. In general the promotion of FCS teams, players, schools etc. is the goal but I know there is gonna be bad and all that but I just hope that this place doesn't promote non verified information. If this is verified, I can't complain but I want to.

The Citadel had a player drop out of school so that he could train for the NFL draft this spring. A real WTF moment since most of us would assume that playing football on a team is the best NFL preparation. There probably is a back story and I doubt we'll see him playing on Sunday.

On a somewhat related topic, how many graduate transfers actually complete a post-graduate degree?

Well that is not exactly accurate. He did graduate for his bachelor's. But did not use his last year of eligibility in graduate school Not the same as dropping out.

Omari Williams didn't start today but he had an interception returned for 11 yds, a pass breakup and three solo tackles vs. ETSU. Also saw that Treyvon Paulk scored a TD against ETSU. If that name is not familiar, it should. He originally showed up in Knoxville before being unceremoniously kicked off the team for domestic violence.

Sorry for the misinformation. It's been a while since I read the article, and the only part of the article that stood out was that he was preparing for the NFL by not playing.

I appreciate the info. as I do not attend any of those sorts of sites but as Wally mentioned it just doesn't really seem appropriate to me to be a thing being done on this board really. It could have been done the way I suggested and would have been the more decent action. I am sure scff is not trying to demean the kid but if it comes off that way then I would think the person putting it up might want to rethink the action was what I am hoping would occur.

For whatever reason this just feels a little dirty on the AGS soul. In general the promotion of FCS teams, players, schools etc. is the goal but I know there is gonna be bad and all that but I just hope that this place doesn't promote non verified information. If this is verified, I can't complain but I want to.

I hear you clucking and agree. It does seem a tad unseemly.
