Lakeland High School (Florida) wide receiver Tyler Williams is the newest member of the Georgia Bulldogs' 2023 recruiting class, a group that ranks No. 2 nationally. 

On Friday night, the 6-foot-3, 200-pound pass-catcher gave Georgia fans a taste of what they can expect from him, as the big receiver showcased his impressive speed on a long touchdown grab, easily breezing by the defender for the score:

No. 1 Lakeland defeated No. 3 Bartow 38-0 for a statement win.

As for Williams, the dynamic receiver who held more than 40 offers is one Georgia fans should be excited about.

Here's what 247Sports had to say about him, in part, as a prospect:

"A potential big-play machine out on the perimeter. Pretty green from a technical standpoint, which makes sense seeing as how he was deployed mostly as a quarterback early on in prep career. Still, has plenty of upside as a wide receiver given fluid movements patterns and ability to make contested catches. Size is unverified, but appears to be over 6-foot-2 and pushing 205 pounds after adding 15 pounds or so to what was once a thin, wiry frame. Thick through the glutes and has room to add even more mass in the upper half. Was initially viewed as a legitimate D1 basketball prospect given how he can consistently drive and finish at the rim. Could probably still probably make a mid-major's roster as a two guard, but has quickly realized that he can probably make a living on the gridiron scoring touchdowns."
