According to the IllinoisHQ:

"Williams is a 5-foot-10, 175-pound running back for Bamberg-Ehrhardt High (Bamberg, S.C.) who at one point in April 2010 had reportedly committed to Illinois. However, due to academic issues caused by a transfer in middle school, he was reclassified as a 2012 prospect, said Bamberg-Ehrhardt assistant coach Corey Crosby."

"With no high school eligibility remaining and academic requirements to be met, he has chosen to take the prep school route, where he hopes to play one semester of football, qualify academically and then enroll for the spring semester in 2012."

"That's the plan because he only needs three more core classes, and he can get that at prep school," said Crosby, who confirmed the plan for Williams to enroll at Gray Military Academy."

As a junior, Williams rushed for 1,734 yard on 207 carries and scored 20 rushing touchdowns.
