Terrance Williams – Washington, DC

PF | 6-foot-6 | 215 lbs | No. 89 overall

Initially a Georgetown commit, Terrance Williams marks one of three Top 100 additions in Michigan’s 2020 recruiting class. A small-ball power forward with a well-built 6-foot-6 frame, Williams looks poised to be a strong multi-year contributor in Ann Arbor. He is a proven winner considering his career at Gonzaga in D.C. and accomplishments with Team Takeover on the Nike EYBL circuit. He also shared the AAU court with fellow Michigan commit Hunter Dickinson, so there is already plenty of chemistry between those two.

In terms of his specific playing style, Williams can do a little bit of everything on the floor. He is a solid all-around athlete and brings a college-ready body that can play multiple positions. He can score at all three levels, is a reliable defender, rebounds for his position, and is an above-average passer as well. He picks his spots well as a scorer, as he can back down a smaller defender or knock down perimeter and mid-range jumpers.

Williams might not make a ton of “wow” plays but he makes a lot of “winning” plays. He just appears to be the type of player that makes those around him better when on the floor. That was evident both in high school and AAU games. He is very skilled on the offensive end and plays with an exceptionally high motor. Williams is a constant hustler that can make an impact in a variety of ways.

With the likes of Franz Wagner and Isaiah Livers likely to return for this coming season, Michigan is already pretty loaded at the forward spots. Even in that situation, Williams will likely crack the rotation right away and can be a do-it-all contributor off the bench. If he is forced into big minutes due to Livers staying in the draft or an injury occurring, he would be ready to play.
