Derrick Williams

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Derrick Williams (b. July 6, 1986) is an American football player at Penn State University.

Williams was widely regarded as the top high school football prospect of 2005, coming out of Eleanor Roosevelt High School in Greenbelt, Maryland. As a freshman, Williams was spectacular at both running back and wideout. His explosive, 4-touchdown start was cut short by a broken arm received during the Nittany Lions' October 15, 2005 contest against the University of Michigan.

The Sporting News named Williams to the freshman All-Big Ten Conference team despite playing just seven games in 2005. He has been named to the preseason second-team All-Big Ten for the upcoming 2006 season by The Sporting News.[1]
