‘Serious competitor’ Troy Williams a right fit for starting QB role

SALT LAKE CITY — Observe Utah’s practice for a moment and it’s easy to see why junior college transfer Troy Williams has separated himself from the pack at the quarterback position.

“Troy is a very serious competitor,” co-offensive coordinator Aaron Roderick said. “He doesn’t even crack a smile out here at practice. He doesn’t take his mouthguard out of his mouth. He is all business at practice. I’ve tried to kid with him a couple of times and he’s a dead-serious competitor.”

That’s not to stay Williams is incapable of having fun or joking around, it’s just more of a situational occurrence.
