Austin Williams Commits to Men’s Basketball

Some good news on the basketball front today as 6’4” combo guard Austin Williams has officially committed to Rutgers University. The Roseland, NJ native is a journeyman, spending his first two seasons at Marist for the 2017-18 and 2018-19 seasons, then transferring to Hartford. After having to sit out the 2019-2020 season, Williams starred for the Hawks, averaging 14.1 points in 2020-21 and 16.1 in 2021-22. He was named to the All-America East conference team following each season with Hartford. He then transferred to Florida International University last season but did not play a game for the Panthers due to injury. Williams will need a medical redshirt waiver to play for the Knights this fall, pending NCAA approval, which seems likely.
