Dericko Williams

Old Dominion’s rugged, rim-protecting forward with rebounding chops

Dericko Williams brings old-school physicality to Old Dominion: in the 2022-23 season, he averaged 6.0 points, 5.8 rebounds, and 0.8 blocks per game, then followed in 2023-24 with 3.2 points and 3.5 rebounds in limited action[2][3]. His calling card is interior defense and rebounding, backed by a strong frame (6-7, about 220 pounds) and a track record of shot-blocking from his junior-college days, where he averaged 1.5 blocks per game and was named First Team All-Panhandle Conference[1]. If a team wants a hard-nosed frontcourt piece who can bang, protect the paint, and do the dirty work, Williams is the kind of low-glamour, high-grit fit that quietly helps winning happen[1][2].
