Fomer Syracuse Football Player Wayne Williams Talks About Why He Left

Former Orange Wayne Williams says Scott Shafer wasn't fair to him when he booted the defensive lineman from the program.

Wayne Williams was one of the more fascinating recruits to play for the Syracuse Orange in recent years. Basically unknown out of high school (on the same team as Ishaq Williams), he committed to SU but went to junior college after not qualifying. He finally made it the following season. Conditioning was a big issue for Williams, who showed up to camp around 340 pounds. Once here, he got injured and missed some time.
