Not being much of a recruitnik, I didn't know much about Bo.
After reading this glowing review from the last year's ESPN top 150, I do now.
Welcome to ISU, Bo!

Scouts Grade: 79 Position Rank: RB #11 Considered: 1-Florida , 2-Florida State , 3-Pittsburgh , 4-Nebraska , 5-N.C. State
Evaluation: Williams is one of the most complete backs in this entire class. He has size, speed, agility, quickness and power. He is one of the few backs who can pound the ball inside and be a big play threat on the perimeter on the very next play. He has a similar running style to Seahawks RB Shawn Alexander-- fast, aggressive and physical. He is very well built and tall. He shows exceptional foot quickness and excellent speed. He shows that he has good vision and he has the patience to let the play develop in front of him. When he has an opening he has the ability to burst into a second gear and he has the stop and start capabilities to get out of some tight situations. He has the speed to be able to turn the corner consistently on the toss play and he can break a play to the outside once he is through the line of scrimmage. He has very good elusiveness when he gets into the secondary and he shows that he has the ability to make people miss. He runs with a good low pad level and he will run over you just as easily as he is capable of juking you. He can be a real force in short yardage and goal line situations when he has to put his shoulder down and get the tough yards. Shows power and strength to push the pile if needed. He has adequate hands and he can catch the ball away from his body and he is a threat when he gets the ball in space. He has the running ability to create mismatches with linebackers and some defensive backs. At times he will not always appear fluid and smooth, is aggressive and can be herky-jerky with his movements. Overall, Williams is a workhorse with big play ability and few players possess that combination.
