  Williams also expressed the excitement he has for the young freshman receivers coming in this fall. Seeing both E.J. Williams and Ajou Ajou as great receivers that still carry their own individual talent. 

Williams: “EJ is a really smooth receiver. EJ and Ajou have different playing styles but they’re both great receivers.”

     Lastly, Williams explained how the extra year of eligibility will be a great thing for players. Not only will it give players more experience, but also more time to collect film and better themselves.

Williams on eligibility: “I feel like that’s a great opportunity for anybody coming in. That’s probably the best thing the NCAA has done in a long time. It’s something I’m going to keep in my back pocket.”
