JAMES WILLIAMS
Halfback
1973 / 1973
Columbia, SC
Biography
A high school teammate of USC linebacker Shaq Wilson, Williams was rated by Rivals.com as the number 21 cornerback in the nation and listed as a 4-star prospect by Scout.com. Williams was a member of the Jacksonville Times-Union Super 11 and was picked third team All-State by that paper. He chose the Gamecocks over Georgia Tech, Auburn, Ohio State and Florida. The fastest cornerback on the team (clocked at one point at 4.34 in the 40), he redshirted in 2007 and then was troubled by a hamstring injury in the spring of 2008. He was unable to dent the depth chart that year though he did play on special teams and had a tackle in kickoff coverage against Clemson. Williams transferred to Alabama State in December of 2008 and played 19 games over the next two seasons for the Hornets.
