When Nebraska needed a replacement for the injured Chris Jones to attend Big Ten Media Days, coach Mike Riley didn't take long to make his pick.
Aaron Williams was the guy, and he didn't disappoint.
Whether it was sharing the story of getting the OK from his mother and sister on his new suit before wearing it in Chicago, or sharing his thoughts on a strong bond with the late Bob Elliott, Williams showed off his upbeat personality and ability to adapt.
Both traits figure to help him this fall.
The junior safety's role, already a large one as the Blackshirts learn a new defensive scheme, has taken on a more vital feel as fall camp nears and the Huskers work to build a defensive backfield that is thinned by the injuries to Jones and JoJo Domann.
