Avantae Williams, with medical issue behind him, making most of first spring at UM

Miami’s Bubba Bolden may have described fellow safety Avantae Williams best beyond being the star 2020 recruit that had his first college season taken away for undisclosed medical reasons and was recently cleared ahead of the Hurricanes’ spring practices.

“He’s a guy with a lot of passion,” Bolden said of Williams on Wednesday. “One thing he wants to do is play football. I think that’s the only thing he wants to do.”

Williams got that opportunity to finally, fully, do exactly that when he was medically cleared from what coach Manny Diaz last August called “chronic and lingering medical issues” that held him out of for the fall.
