With the sheer depth of talent that surrounds us in Virginia, Maryland, and DC, it’s often easy to overlook some prospects. Gill Williamson‘s story is different than most. A standout athlete who has undergone a physical transformation during his high school years, the now 6-foot-8 senior is playing his best basketball right now. But his best playing days are still ahead of him.

“I’ve been playing basketball all my life but didn’t start focusing on it until last year,” Williamson told Prep Hoops. “I’ve been a lacrosse-first guy the majority of my life. And I played football, but once I got to 6’6″ I was like, alright, I’ve got to start focusing on this.”

Going into his sophomore year, Williamson grew from about 6-foot-1 to 6-foot-5. Coach Hamill Jones, the Head Coach at St. Christopher’s, knew he had something special on his hands.
