The past few weeks have been a whirlwind of sorts for Class of 2019 offensive lineman Zach Williamson. Some of the events were good, but one in particular has caused him to change his overall course.

On Oct. 20, Williamson received his first and only offer, from Cincinnati. The following week, he got a visit from Virginia Tech. On Oct. 27, however, he broke his right leg in two places, which ended his junior season.
