JUCO safety Williams excited to begin his Husker career next month
Nebraska is loading up on players that can sign as part of the early signing period and enroll for the spring semester. The Huskers added another one this weekend when Ellisville (Miss.) Jones County J.C. defensive back, Deontai Williams, committed to the Huskers.
"It's the tradition here," Williams said. "I want to be part of that tradition. I want to be a Nebraska Blackshirt, get back to winning conference championships and win a national championship at Nebraska."
The future Husker says that the Nebraska staff sees him filling multiple spots in their secondary. While Williams can play multiple positions in the secondary, he remains a physical presence on the football field regardless of where he is playing.
"The Nebraska staff loves my versatility. I play both safety and cornerback," Williams said. "I am going to do both at Nebraska. I am physical. I love to hit. It's a great fit for me in the Nebraska defense."
The official visitors this weekend got a glimpse of the passion that their fans have when they attended the basketball game. Williams said that he is looking forward to seeing that passion in Memorial Stadium.
"I really love the fans at Nebraska," Williams said. "They have a lot of love for their teams. I was at their basketball game on Saturday, and that was crazy."
Nebraska will be receiving Williams' letter of intent on Wednesday, and he will be moving up to Nebraska in the coming weeks.
"I will be signing on Wednesday," Williams said. "I will sign on Wednesday, and I will be back here in a few weeks to enroll. I have three years to play three. The Nebraska staff loves that about me."
