Drake freshman Kael Williams brings size, versatility, and upside to the Bulldogs backfield
In the 2026 season, Kael Williams enters Drake as a 6-foot, 185-pound freshman RB from Washington, Iowa, with the Bulldogs listing him as #31; the key intrigue is his versatility, since he arrived after starring as a high school quarterback and now shifts to running back, which usually signals good field vision and open-field instincts. He’s an upside play rather than a finished product, but that background suggests a player who can add juice, adaptability, and developmental value if he settles in quickly.
