I\u2019m very excited about my decision and can\u2019t wait to play for this coaching staff.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Williams is a two-way player but was recruited as a receiver by the Rebels.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cI had a chance to sit down with coach Kap (Dede) and coach Del (Alexander) and we had some really good conversations,\u201d Williams said. \u201cThey talked about what they want from the players and the standard they hold the players to is amazing.<\/p>\n<p>Advertisement<\/p>\n<p>\u201cI know there\u2019s opportunity to get in there and play early as well but it\u2019s up to me. I need to pick up the offense and the schemes but if I can do that, then I\u2019m excited about the opportunity to compete.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Williams is a player we first saw at a workout in San Diego when he was just an 8th grader. He\u2019s a talented two-way player with the ability to play multiple positions but was being recruited primarily at receiver.<\/p>\n<p>He played his first three years at Mount Miguel but made the move to San Diego H.S this off-season. In addition to the Rebels, he had trips set to Colorado State and Minnesota but is shutting down his recruitment.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cUNLV offered me as a freshman and recruited me harder than anyone this whole cycle,\u201d Williams said. \u201cThey came and saw me at my school and really prioritized me and that meant a lot.\u201d<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"San Diego (Calif.) athlete\u00a0Delontay Williams\u00a0just announced he\u2019ll play his college ball at UNLV. \u201cI visited UNLV over the&hellip;\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":351989,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[28],"tags":[143879,74,76,75,20695,10530],"class_list":["post-351988","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","category-san-diego","tag-delontay-williams","tag-san-diego","tag-san-diego-headlines","tag-san-diego-news","tag-unlv","tag-williams"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/351988","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=351988"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/351988\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/351989"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=351988"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=351988"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=351988"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
