Whatever happened to the WR from Alcoa

[Jasongivm6]

who caught a TD in the '93 Florida game?

His first name was Billy, but I forgot his last name.

He wore #80

Yes, Billy Williams. Broke his leg during the first game of his senior season, IIRC, against UCLA. We also lost our quarterback that game, who was replaced by Todd Helton, who was replaced by the Peyton Manning/Brandon Stewart combo.

Williams had great speed, but I don't know if he ever recoverd from the injury. He was a 7th round draft pick by the Cardinals

I can't find any info about him after that.

By the way, I stumbled across this while looking for information. I found it interesting:

Seeing Alcoa mentioned, I guess anyone interested would like to know that former multiple state champion Riverdale (5A) coach Gary Rankin is now head coach at (2A) powerhouse Alcoa.He is a HUGE UT fan.I think he was 13-1 last year.
