Defensive lineman Tyleik Williams loses black stripe

Maybe the loss to the Ducks on Saturday stirred some emotion. Black stripes are being shed left and right. The latest member to do so is freshman defensive lineman Tyleik Williams.

Williams was listed as a four-star recruit according to 247Sports, hailing from Manassas, Virginia. This young man is described as explosive with room to grow. Coaches seem pretty excited about how much Williams is improving every day.

Williams shared with his teammates after being announced he had lost his black stripe Wednesday.

“I just want to thank ya’ll for welcoming me into the brotherhood, Williams said. “The O-linemen for getting me better every day. The rushmen for bringing me up, motivating me. Coach J (Larry Johnson) for believing in me. Go Bucks!”

We’re not sure how much time Willams will get this season, but he certainly has the skill to make an impact in years to come.
