Joe Williams brings power-and-speed upside to Washington State’s backfield
Joe Williams is a Washington State running back whose appeal is the classic compact-back package: he’s a physical, hard-to-miss runner with enough burst to punish poor tackling and enough size to handle contact, making him useful as a tone-setter in a rotation or short-yardage role. Publicly available recruiting info lists him at 5-9 and 218 pounds, but detailed current college production for Washington State is not available in the provided sources, so the best read is that he profiles as an upside depth piece rather than a proven featured back.[3][5]
