Syracuse, N.Y. — Former Syracuse football defensive lineman Wayne Williams will soon get a chance to rekindle a feeling he has been missing ever since his college football career ended.

Since his arrival at Syracuse as a junior-college transfer was delayed because he didn't qualify academically, a succession of issues accompanied him. He came to Syracuse out of shape. An injury shortened his season in 2014. The following summer, he left the team and transferred to Division II West Georgia, where another injury forced him to miss the majority of the season.
