Getting to know four-star safety signee Kaine Williams

On the most recent installment of the BamaOnLine Podcast, 2021 signee Kaine Williams joined BOL senior analyst Travis Reier on the show. Williams, a four-star safety from Marrero, La., provided insight on a number of topics including:

* Po Boy or Muffuletta for the New Orleans-area standout?

* Having graduated from John Ehret High School in the last week, how is Williams spending his time?

* When did Williams catch football fever and was there a time when he thought his future position might be on offense?

* Given their propensities for posterizing defenders, how would Williams go about tackling Derrick Henry and Najee Harris?

* At what point did his recruitment start to pickup and when did Alabama enter the picture?

* What went into Williams picking a specific date to announce his commitment?

* How UA went about identifying Williams as a potential offer and the approach taken by its staff.

* A couple of previous Alabama safeties from Louisiana played different roles. How does Williams see his UA career starting out from a positional standpoint?

* BOL's Signing Day evaluation of Williams: "Has the look of a box safety but shows nice range when working from a single high position. Excellent tackler who finishes with authority. In addition to safety, good bet to work at money position in the dime package. Also a prime core special teams candidate early on in his career."
