Former Kentucky Mr. Basketball plans to transfer from Northern Kentucky

Former Owen County standout Carson Williams has asked for his release from Northern Kentucky and will seek a transfer from the school.

As a sophomore for the Norse, Williams averaged 12 points on 61% shooting, 5.6 rebounds, 1.2 assists to help lead NKU to a 22-10 final record and a Horizon League regular-season title.

You may remember Williams from his standout performance against Kentucky in the first round of the NCAA Tournament last year, where he managed 21 points on 7-10 shooting, seven made free throws, nine rebounds, and an assist. The Cats pulled out the nine-point victory, but Williams certainly made it tough on them.
