No freshman in the history of Texas A&M football had topped 1,000 rushing yard prior to this past season. Williams, who shared carries with running mate Keith Ford and quarterback Trevor Knight, yet still managed to surpass the 1,000 yard mark. He finished the year with 1,057 yards on the ground and eight rushing touchdowns.
Williams seemed to have mastered the game-breaking touchdown run in his freshman season. All but two of his touchdown runs came from outside the redzone, and he averaged 36.5 yards per scoring play. He also caught 19 passes for 91 yards.
