The Cougars were second only to Alabama in yards per rush allowed, allowing under three yards per carry in 2016. For Williams to sit third in tackles flanked by Hightower teammate Matthew Adams, Mr. Havoc - Steven Taylor and Freshman All-American Ed Oliver, that’s select company.
Expect even more from Williams in his senior year and second season as a full time starter. We’re not sure if new coordinator Mark D’Onofrio will use him in the same way, but he’s a heck of tool to have in the tool box, versatile and efficient with just enough big play in him to be dangerous.
