Potential walk-on wide receiver Quanel Williams will visit Rutgers Friday, he told NJ.com Monday morning.

The 6-1, 185-pound wide receiver has fought through tons of adversity to even get to his point, as he's battled epilepsy since he was young, and was allegedly scammed by his former prep school.

However, he was recently admitted to Rutgers and will begin classes this fall. But he just recently connected with the Rutgers staff, Monday.

"I got in contact with (Rutgers director of high school relations) Rick Mantz. Once I introduced who I was and everything, he just told me that he really wanted me to get in and see the campus and stuff and sit with academic people and find out like where I'm at," said Williams. "He was like the main thing was if I got admitted and I told him I'm already admitted. So he was like that's good. So he set up a meeting and he said Friday at 11 a.m. to go up there and meet and ask for him. And we were gonna have a sit-down and talk and he was gonna show me around and stuff."

Prior to transferring to Aledo (Texas) high school in 2011 following his sophomore year, Williams played his high school football at Burlington Township (N.J.). But since then, he'd attended Offense-Defense prep in Oklahoma, and is currently finishing up at Rowan, something Williams discussed with Mantz.

"He just asked where I was at, what school I was coming from and stuff like that. But once I established that I was already admitted and starting there in the fall, that was all he really needed to hear over the phone," he said.

Williams, whose brother Quincey attempted to walk-on at Rutgers in 2015 season before being cut, believes he has the athleticism to make a difference on the banks. He was told by the NCAA that he'll be allowed to apply as an amateur, and will have five years to play four once he gets to the banks.
