Robert Williams came into the season widely unknown. Six feet nine inches tall. A wingspan of seven feet four inches. There is nothing small about Williams, the freshman out of Louisiana. Not his frame and certainly not his game.
Head Football coach Kevin Sumlin and staff refer to the players and recruits from Louisiana as “Louisi-animals”. It would seem the term could be expanded to Reed Arena as well.
Williams quickly worked his way into the starting lineup by his ability to block shots and rebound. Now he is continuing to shock the SEC with his sheer size and athleticism.
