Isiah Williams is an American college basketball player for Utah Valley University. Williams was the Great West Conference player of the year in 2011 and UVU's first division I All-American in basketball.
Williams, a 6'1" guard from Farragut High School in Chicago, Illinois, played two years of junior college ball at the College of Eastern Utah, where he led the Golden Eagles to a third place finish in the 2010 NJCAA Men's Division I Basketball Championship. He then moved to Utah Valley University to play for Dick Hunsaker and complete his four-year degree.
In his junior season of 2010–11, Williams averaged 17.4 points and 1.8 assists per game as he led the Wolverines to an 11–1 finish and a Great West Conference regular-season championship. Williams was named first team All-Conference and Conference player of the year.[1] At the conclusion of the season, Williams was named an Associated Press honorable mention All-American, making him the first player in school history to receive such an honor.[2]
In 2011–12, Williams was chosen to repeat as the preseason GWC player of the year by a vote of the league's coaches.[3]
