Williams Making The Most of His Opportunity

By: Ball State Athletics

Defensive players dream of running down the sideline untouched and into the end zone. But it's rare. In fact, Ball State hadn't gotten a touchdown from a defensive player since November 2014. Jordan Williams woke up Saturday morning focusing on his role as outside linebacker and nothing more. Do your job. But when his opportunity came, Williams scooped and scored, taking a Florida Atlantic fumble 60 yards into the end zone in the first quarter of Saturday's game.

"When I woke up this morning, I was just happy and blessed to be playing football," Williams said.
