MEMPHIS, Tennessee – Former Memphis Tiger running back DeAngelo Williams announced a $250,000 gift for the University of Memphis football program, Wednesday. This is the second gift Williams has made to his former football team. He also donated the money for the renovations of the current locker room in 2011.
"In 2002, I was so grateful to have walked across my high school stage to the announcement that I would be attending the University of Memphis! I sit here today fully understanding what that meant, knowing that I now have the capability to impact a kid's life to hear those very same words just by a donation!
