Kadale Williams was not the highest-ranked member of Toledo’s 2025 recruiting class.
But the three-star running back might have the most videogame-like stats.
The 6-foot-1, 180-pound Williams rushed for 2,611 yards and 43 touchdowns in 12 games, leading Jackson (Mich.) Lumen Christi to a Michigan High School Athletic Association-record 14th state championship.
During his career, Lumen Christi won three state titles. And he went out in style with a state-finals record 314 rushing yards and five touchdowns.
Williams committed to Central Michigan over the summer but de-committed in October, prior Jim McElwain’s retirement. He’s listed as an athlete by 247Sports and ranks as the No. 23 player in Michigan. He’s a top-100 athlete nationally.
His only FBS offers were Central, UT, Bowling Green, and Eastern Michigan.
