After tough loss, Williams turns focus to father, announcement

MONTGOMERY, Ala. – Following a tough loss in his team’s season-opener, Phenix City (Ala.) Central four-star wide receiver E.J. Williams must flip the page and get ready to let the world know where he will continue his academic and football career.

The Clemson Insider’s Tour of Champions made a stop in Montgomery on Friday night to see Williams and Central High School play Hoover (Ala.) High in the 2019 Kickoff Classic at the Cramton Bowl. Hoover kicked a game-winning field goal as time expired to beat Central, 17-14.

Less than 24 hours later, Williams — who had several catches, including a touchdown, in the contest — will announce his college decision during a ceremony at Central High School at 2 p.
