Watch: Notre Dame commit Cam Williams stars in debut, reaffirms Irish commitment

2024 Notre Dame receiver commit Cam Williams has entered his senior season at Glenbard South in Glen Ellyn, Illinois with high expectations. Not the least of those is living up to his No. 2 ranking on 247Sports’ list of 2024 recruits in the Land of Lincoln. So Matt Freeman of Irish Sports Daily attended Williams’ season opener and did not come away disappointed. Take a look at how smoothly Williams cuts and how he uses that to his advantage:

These touchdowns all happened in the first half. Williams would tack on two more in the second half for a total of five scores in a 56-21 victory. As you can see from the above clip, he just makes it look too easy at times.

Last year, I noted that Williams and I share the same high school. After I shared this with him in order to interview him for the site, I checked in on him periodically to see how he was doing. When the above clip was released, this Raider alumnus asked the current Raider how he’s able to cut so smoothly after a catch. He said the following:

How many of you knew that he used to be a running back? It definitely explains why clips like this one of him exist. And for those of you worrying that he might change his mind about attending Notre Dame, don’t. He also said this:

So opposing fan bases can try all they want to sway Williams. He’s sticking with the Irish. You have to admire a recruit who refuses to give into more financially lucrative opportunities he might find elsewhere in the NIL era. More recruits should follow his example.
