Former Gamecock running back David Williams headed to UConn

Per reporting by David Caraviello at the Charleston Post and Courier, former Gamecock running back David Williams will spend his final year of eligibility with Uconn.

The decision was announced Tuesday by the Huskies, and Williams would be able to play immediately since he’s a graduate transfer. It’ll be a good move for him considering AJ Turner and Rico Dowdle — both freshman -- were ahead of him on the depth chart by seasons end.

The move also puts Williams closer to his hometown of Pennsylvania, a mere four hour drive from the UConn campus compared to the nine hour quest to Columbia.
