Go west, young man: South Carolina RB Ty’Son Williams headed to BYU

Ty’Son Williams began his college career at North Carolina, transferred to South Carolina, and will now transfer again for his final season. Williams on Sunday announced his intent to graduate transfer to BYU.

“I want to thank all the coaches and programs who reached out to give me an opportunity to continue my education for my last year,” he said in a tweet. “With that being said I will continue my last year of eligibility at Brigham Young University.”

After carrying 19 times for 57 yards as a Tar Heel in 2015, Williams sat out 2016 and then carried a combined 165 times for 799 yards and five touchdowns over the 2017-18 campaigns.

As a graduate transfer, Williams will be eligible to play immediately in 2019.

He’ll walk into a BYU running backs room that returns leading rusher Lopini Katoa but looses second- and third-leading rushers Squally Canada and Matt Hadley, who totaled a combined 162 rushes last fall.
