Isaiah Williams named semifinalist for Man of the Year Award

Isaiah Williams continues to be recognized for his greatness in uniform and in character.

The junior wide receiver was named a semifinalist for the Jason Witten Collegiate Man of the Year Award. This was announced by the award’s selection committee on Wednesday.

The honor is presented yearly to a college football student-athlete who represents courage, integrity, and sportsmanship in a leadership capacity on and off the field.

Williams is one of just 20 semifinalists for this year’s award and joins the likes of Blake Corum (Michigan), Sam Hartman (Notre Dame) and Caleb Williams (Southern Cal) as honorees.
