C. Williams wins national title
Cooper Williams, a 2025 Davie graduate, added to his long list of amazing accomplishments in track & field by capturing the shot put title in the Adidas National Championships on Saturday. Details about his win will come next week.
P. Williams second-team preseason All-America
One of Cooper Williams’ older brothers, Baylor punter Palmer Williams, has been named second-team preseason All-America.
Palmer had the best punting season in college football, and the best in Baylor history, last year in his second year in the starting role. He averaged 49.3 yards on 43 punts, which led the nation among those who punted at least 2.5 times per game in 2024. His average as the best in BU single-season history and his career mark of 46.53 would rank tops in school career history. He had 28 punts of 50-plus yards, 15 of his 43 punts were downed inside the 20, six were fair caught and BU ranked No. 8 in the NCAA in net punting average. He had a monster game vs. Utah, punting six times for an average of 62.7 yards, with a long of 79 and two downed inside the 20-yard line.
