The Wake Forest football program added a nice piece for the future. Tyler Williams, a defensive tackle out of Oxbridge Academy in West Palm Beach, Florida, has signed with Wake Forest. He was originally committed to Florida Atlantic, and also had offers from Louisville, Minnesota, and Bowling Green.
Williams originally committed to Wake Forest in July:

Williams has official measurements of 6’1” and 290 pounds. He is currently listed by 24/7 Sports as a three star recruit and holds multiple Power Five offers. He also performed very well at The Opening event in Miami. If you watch his highlights, you will see that he has pretty good quickness for his size.
Williams was Wake Forest’s 11th commit in the 2017 recruiting class. Please join me in officially welcoming Tyler to Winston-Salem as he joins the Demon Deacon family. Also check out some of his highlights below to get even more into the football spirit:
