Stepping Up: Carlton Williams

It seems like I've been touting him forever. Why stop now?  ;D

STEPPING UP: With sophomore Danny Verpaele out with a foot injury, redshirt freshman Carlton Williams has emerged as the starter at free safety.

"He's really coming on. He's not practicing like a freshman," co-defensive coordinator Rick Kravitz said. "He's running with the (No.) ones now. He works, he pushes himself hard. He's a great kid to coach."

Verpaele, injured in the first week of practice, won't have his cast off until next week, making it questionable whether he can make a healthy return in time for the Sept. 3 opener at Penn State.

Williams, a 6-foot-3, 205-pounder from Valdosta, Ga., who joined the team last season, entered the preseason as the starting nickel defensive back. That role now goes to another redshirt freshman, converted quarterback Louis Gachette .
