BYU running back Ty’Son Williams to declare for NFL draft, forgo possible sixth season

After weeks of cryptic tweets, BYU running back Ty’Son Williams finally set the record straight: he will not be returning next season. The former-four-star-recruit turned grad transfer posted on his personal Twitter that he will forgo a sixth season and instead declare for the NFL draft.

Williams suffered an injury during the Washington game and a few days later announced it was a season-ending ACL injury. Because Williams had played in only four games, he could have applied for a medical hardship with the NCAA and returned for a sixth season (second at BYU).
