COLUMBUS, Ohio -- When Tre Williams looks back at his basketball career, he’s going to remember many fine moments that got him to where he was.

He’s going to remember the time he helped Reynoldsburg beat Pickerington North, one of the top teams in central Ohio who was led by Indiana forward and possible future pro Jerome Hunter.

He’ll also remember leading his team to a district championship after they beat Mount Vernon 51-36. Even though they lost to Hilliard Bradley in the Regional semifinals, they still accomplished something that the Raiders hadn’t done since 2012.

Ultimately, there’s a good chance that none of those moments are going to be bigger or more important than one July live period weekend he had in Georgia.

The 6-foot-7 forward from Reynoldsburg High School, who will soon be heading to Woodstock Academy in Connecticut, played fantastically at the Peach Jam Invitational last month, and many colleges took notice.

“Youngstown State, Wright State, Buffalo, IUPUI, UT-Martin, Miami (OH), Bowling Green and James Madison all offered me,” he said. “I just felt like I was doing everything well, rebounding, blocking shots, finishing and dunking everything that I can. I did a good job keeping my teammates up when they were playing bad and we won games.”

All-Ohio Red did win a bunch of games in Georgia, going 5-1 before losing in the semifinals to The Family. Williams was a big key to that success, and he knows more offers are likely on the way.

“I’ve been researching all of the schools that just offered me and I’ve been picking up interest from other schools,” he said. “Dayton, Northwestern, Ohio and Kansas State have all expressed interest in me.”

In the days following this interview, Ohio pulled the trigger and offered the 6-foot-7 post who has vaulted to the top of his position group in the 2019 class. Williams currently holds 14 offers and could see that list grow even more this upcoming season.

Even though Williams graduated from high school, college is still going to have to wait one more year. Most of the offers he’s received are for 2019, so he still plans on going to Woodstock in the fall.

“While I’m there I’m looking to expand my range to the three-point line and I want to get bigger, stronger and faster,” he said. “Right now finishing inside and being able to take other big guys off the dribble are my strengths along with rebounding and blocking shots.”

Williams will for sure be able to take those strengths to the next level, where he’s hoping to commit to a college that plays up-tempo and likes to go inside-out on offense.

When he finally does get to Woodstock, he’s going to continue to improve on the sport he has loved his whole life.

“I tried football at a young age but I didn’t really like it,” he said. “I started playing basketball when I was six or seven years old but I wasn’t really good. I didn’t improve until like my sophomore year of high school and I just kept working at it because I wanted to be good at it.”

Well, the improvements were definitely on full display this summer, and when all is said and done, Tre Williams will be able to look back on his one weekend in Georgia and say that his play at the Peach Jam is what helped change his life and led him to a Division I college.
