Syracuse football junior defensive back Trill Williams has joined Andre Cisco in declaring for the 2021 NFL Draft.

Coming into the 2020 campaign, a lot of folks hoped that Syracuse football juniors Andre Cisco and Trill Williams would put forth stellar performances in the Orange secondary, and then the expectation centered on both of them forgoing their remaining eligibility in Central New York and declaring for the 2021 NFL Draft.

What unfortunately has happened, though, is that both Cisco, a pre-season All-American candidate at safety, and Williams, an under-rated yet extremely talented defensive back, had their 2020 seasons cut short while dealing with injuries and will prepare for next year’s NFL Draft.
