It was two days before he was to report to campus to begin his college football career at the University of Arkansas and Jonathan Williams was packing up. Not for his four-hour drive from Allen, Texas to Fayetteville. Instead he was putting all of his family’s belongings into long term storage after they had been evicted.
With his father taking care of his grandmother with Alzheimer’s in New Orleans, and his older brother already away at college, Williams was left to do the heavy lifting himself with his mother and younger sister assisting where they could.
