For senior safety Kieron Williams, football is his only passion, and it always has been.
“I’ve been playing since I was 4-years-old, so it’s just something that I just grew up doing, so my mom put me in it,” Williams said. “You start tackling where I’m from around like 7-years-old. I played running back so I used to score touchdowns every game so that was fun, those were my first memories.”
The Shreveport, La., native grew up following the footsteps of uncle Tay Mims, a former professional who played with the Tampa Bay Buccaneers. For Williams, football was never a question of how far he wanted to go with the sport, but rather where he’d go on his way to the NFL.
