MEMPHIS, Tenn. – Sophomore punter Adam Williams was named the American Athletic Conference's special teams player of the week it was announced by the league, Monday. It is the first weekly honor of Williams' career.
In a 42-6 road win against South Alabama, Williams punted four times for a 48.2 yards per punt average. Two of his four punts travelled over 50 yards and two were downed inside the 20. His one touchback in the game just snuck past a teammate's fingertips to miss being downed at the one.
Williams now ranks second in the American Athletic Conference with a 46.
