Pendarvis Williams (born November 13, 1991) is an American basketball player. He is a senior at Norfolk State University, where in the 2012–13 season he was named an honorable mention All-American.
Williams, a 6'6" guard from Philadelphia, committed to Norfolk State where as a sophomore he scored 20 points in the Spartans' 86–84 upset of number 2 seed Missouri in the 2012 NCAA Tournament.[1] As a junior, after the loss of All-American Kyle O'Quinn, the Spartans were not expected to contend for the Mid-Eastern Athletic Conference championship. But Williams stepped up his performance, averaging 14.3 points and 4.3 rebounds per game. He led the Spartans to a 16–0 record and won conference Player of the Year honors.[2] At the end of the season, Williams was named HBCU Player of the Year[3] and an AP honorable mention All-American.
