Redshirt junior forward Carson Williams was crowned Conference USA Co-Player of the Week for the first time in his career after guiding WKU to its first 2-0 start in C-USA play since the 2017-18 season, the league office announced Monday.
The 6-foot-5, 230-pounder started his first nine games this season at the power forward position before being moved to the five-spot after C-USA Preseason Player of the Year Charles Bassey suffered a season-ending injury against Arkansas on Dec. 7, 2019.
Since Bassey’s departure in early December, Williams has guided WKU in points and rebounding at the center position with averages of 18.
