East Carolina University redshirt freshman guard Shawn Williams was named the American Athletic Conference Rookie-of-the-Year, by the conference's 12 head coaches earlier today.
Williams was also unanimously selected to the AAC All-Rookie Team by the league's head coaches, conference officials announced Monday.
The guard, who was named AAC Rookie-Of-The-Week four times this season, averaged 12.2 points and 2.4 3-point field goals made per game. He connected on 36.7 percent of his three-point field goal attempts, knocking down 70-of-191 shots from three, while shooting a stellar 87 percent from the free throw line, leading the entire conference.
Williams is the only freshman in the conference to have scored 30 points in a game this season.
