Arizona’s already packed running back room has gotten even more stuffed thanks to a late addition of a veteran with ACC and SEC experience.<\/p>\n

Ex-Florida State RB DJ Williams<\/strong> has committed to play for the Wildcats, his third college team, as a graduate transfer.<\/p>\n

The 5-foot-10, 215-pound Williams spent the 2021 season with FSU after beginning his career at Auburn. A former 4-star prospect, Williams played for the Tigers in 2019-20 where he ran for 599 yards and five touchdowns, then with the Seminoles he only had 10 carries for 47 yards with one TD.<\/p>\n

Arizona is expecting Williams to be eligible for this season despite having already used his one-time transfer waiver and the fact that he entered the NCAA transfer portal in June, one month after the deadline to be able to play in 2022. <\/p>\n

Williams, who is the nephew of NFL Hall of Fame running back Edgerrin James<\/strong>, gives Arizona seven scholarship RBs for this season. Junior Drake Anderson <\/strong>was the UA’s leading rusher in 2021, with 385 yards, while junior Michael Wiley <\/strong>had a team-high 91 carries and also scored six TDs (four receiving). Also back are sophomores Jalen John <\/strong>and Stevie Rocker Jr.<\/strong> along with incoming freshmen Jonah Coleman <\/strong>and Rayshon ‘Speedy’ Luke<\/strong>. <\/p>\n
