As a recruit, reports on Williams described him as a physical receiver that was ready to contribute right away, but he saw no action for the Hoosiers this season. He received offers from Boston College, Kentucky, LSU, Maryland, Purdue, Michigan and Michigan State.
Williams’ announcement puts him in company with a long list of other college football players hoping to improve their playing situation through the portal. Last week it was reported that over 100 players had opted to transfer from their current schools, potentially flooding the market with players looking to do the same thing.
With the NCAA adapting eligibility rules due to the COVD-19 pandemic, and the cancellations of senior seasons, the search for a new spot at a new school can be a challenge.
