Former Razorback Rickey Williams beams with pride about son Zach

FAYETTEVILLE — Even big, strong football players can shed a tear every now and then, especially an alum dropping off his son to follow in his footsteps.

That was the case last Tuesday when former Razorbacks All-Southwest Conference linebacker Rickey Williams left his son and early enrollee defensive end Zach Williams on the Arkansas campus.

It was not his first experience at this, having dropped off Zach’s older sister a few years earlier.

“It was different with him, just going back to campus and walking around even though we have been back several times, but not like that,” the elder Williams said.
