Husker S Deontai Williams learned in 2018, now he's 'relaxed and free and having fun'

Travis Fisher admits now that he could have forced a bigger role on Deontai Williams in 2018.

Williams, a Jones County (Mississippi) Junior College transfer a year ago, was a rare juco player with three years of eligibility remaining. His physical skills jumped off the page, but Fisher also had a pair of holdover seniors in Aaron Williams and Antonio Reed, and brought a graduate transfer from Central Florida in Tre Neal to help the rest of the group learn.
