Hilltoppers get former Kentucky Mr. Basketball in NKU transfer Carson Williams

WKU basketball landed another transfer today, as 2016 Kentucky Mr. Basketball Carson Williams announced that he will join the Hilltopper program.

Williams, a 6-5 forward who will have to sit out the 2018-19 season under NCAA transfer rules, comes from Northern Kentucky University and is a native of Owenten, Kentucky.

“It’s obvious that Carson has to sit out a year,” WKU head coach Rick Stansbury said in a press release. “But after watching his game films and finding more out about him, he’s absolutely too good of a player and too good of a person to not have as part of our basketball program.
