Wisconsin football: James Williams medically retires

Wisconsin Badgers redshirt freshman cornerback James Williams, out of Chaminade-Madonna Prep in Florida, will undergo career-ending surgery next week on a torn meniscus. It will be the third such surgery of his football career, forcing him to step away from the game he loves.

If you the tweet isn’t showing up, here is his message in its entirety, please note that some of the dates are incorrect in his post:

“On September 11, 2018 I tore my meniscus and I being the person I am, and the way I love the game so much, I decided to continue to play and finish out my senior season.
