There are late bloomers on the recruiting trail, and then there’s the case of offensive lineman Christian Williams.
He didn’t pick up his first college offer until the end of his junior season at Thurgood Marshall High School in Missouri City, Texas, and it was from Louisiana College. Not the University of Louisiana, but Louisiana College, a Baptist college located in Pineville, Louisiana, that has since changed its name to Louisiana Christian University. The school plays football at the NAIA level and has less than 1,000 total students
A lot has happened since then. Last June, Billy Napier and the Louisiana Ragin’ Cajuns offered him.
