Skinny: “We get a load of letters every day for Ivory,” Beaumont Central coach David Suggs said. “I’ve had to write them down, so I know who all has sent things. Right now he is favoring Texas, Oklahoma State and Houston. But, things change, so we'll see.”
Suggs knows that whoever gets Williams is going to be getting a quality person as well as a player.
“Ivory is a quality athlete. That’s what everyone is looking for. But he also has quality work habits. He is highly coachable. But most importantly he has a desire to win. That is what sets him apart. He wants to win about as badly as any I’ve ever seen.”
Williams is one of the Lone Star State’s top sprinters and that talent will again prevent him from participating in summer football camps.
“Ivory went to a lot of track meets during the summer. He’s good at it, and I’ll try and talk him out of skipping all of the camps. But I’m sure he’ll have a full load of track meets again.”
