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.
