College career

Williams was born in Beckville, Texas. After high school, he signed with rural Cisco Junior College, but soon left the school. Following a year of oil field work, he decided to walk-on to Kilgore College located in the town of Kilgore, Texas. It was here that Kilgore head coach Jim Reives decided to change him from a cornerback to a linebacker, and he excelled there. Williams helped lead Kilgore to an undefeated season in 2001, and a #2 national ranking. Prior to entering the NFL, Williams played for the University of Nebraska, where he completed his degree in sociology.

gollark: *Probably* still better than before cities and stuff. Diseases spread anyway then, but less so, and we can actually treat them and have hygiene and sanitation now.
gollark: Still, I think on the whole we're better off disease-wise than the people of, say, 400 years ago.
gollark: Hmm, I suppose so on the population densities one.
gollark: I mean, spreading them better because of increased global travel, sure, but we can also actually treat them now (ish).
