Former FSU fullback Clarence ‘Pooh Bear’ Williams dies in car crash

Former Florida State fullback Clarence “Pooh Bear” Williams Jr. died in a car accident Thursday morning near his hometown of Crescent City.

Williams was a part of the Florida State program from 1993-96 and quickly grew into a fan favorite. He was a part of Seminoles teams that combined to go 43-5 with four ACC Championships while claiming a consensus national championship in 1993. He missed the 1994 season after suffering a knee injury and finished his college career with 472 rushing yards and 17 touchdowns on 109 carries in 31 career appearances.
