Williams enjoys his new role as Michigan State fullback

East Lansing – — Delton Williams understands plenty about what it means to get a second chance.

A year ago, the running back from Erie, Pa., was suspended by Michigan State coach Mark Dantonio following a weapons charge after a campus incident. That came on the heels of losing his brother to a shooting in Erie in December 2014.

It was a tough time for Williams, especially considering he looked to be one of the primary ball-carrying options for the Spartans headed into 2015. Instead, he had to work his way back, getting reinstated in early August and going through last season without a scholarship.
