CARY – On its surface, the comparison may seem like a stretch. But Brad Seaburg wanted to make sure his point came across loud and clear this week to his Cary-Grove offensive linemen.

As the Trojans began preparations for Saturday’s Class 6A state semifinal against Lake Forest, Seaburg made certain that Scouts junior linebacker Trent Williams got special notice. Williams registered a school-record six sacks in last week’s quarterfinal win over Niles Notre Dame, presenting a challenge unlike many C-G has seen this season.

On a Lake Forest defensive line that combines strength and athleticism, the 6-foot-1, 215-pound Williams is the focal point, leaving Seaburg to reach into the NFL to give his players what they will be in for on Saturday.
