Last season, Malik Williams was known as a big play receiver in App State’s Sun Belt leading offense. This season, as a junior, he has emerged not only as a player who has a knack for big gains, but also as a consistent pass catcher through six games. After recording only 23 catches for 257 yards in the 2018 season, Williams has 26 receptions for 312 yards already.
“I’ve worked on my route running, getting separation from (defensive backs) and making sure I catch the ball every time, not just looking for the big play,” Williams said.
Williams is second on the team in catches so far this season, with only junior wide receiver Thomas Hennigan ahead of him.
