TSU RUNNING BACK JAVARRIS WILLIAMS NAMED
OVC FRESHMAN OF THE YEAR
Brother Javarris Williams (Spring 06-Zeta Alpha), was named Ohio Valley
Conference Freshman of the Year for the 2005 Football Season. Brother
Williams, a native of Richmond, Texas proved to be an impact player
in his first official collegiate season for the Tigers. He broke the
freshman record by rushing for 872 yards this past season for a struggling
TSU offense. He broke out for a career high 190 yards at Tennessee Tech
as well as having 2 other 100 yard outings.
Brother Williams is the first TSU player to ever receive the OVC Freshman
of the Year Honor in addition to being named second team All-OVC and
to the All-OVC Newcomer team. This upcoming season will be a special
one for Brother Williams as he sets his sights on becoming the best
back ever for Tennessee State University.
