"He said how they don’t really offer people until they think it’s the right time and then he talked about how I produce on the football field and then he offered me a full ride scholarship."
"I was honestly surprised because it was my first time going to Iowa," Williams said. "It was a great experience and I loved the environment."
"My reaction was definitely surprised, but super excited because Iowa is one of the best schools in the Big Ten. Just really excited to keep building a relationship with them and to get back up there."
