James Williams brings Swiss-army-back juice to Washington State
In the 2018 season, James Williams was a versatile Cougars back who piled up 560 rushing yards, 613 receiving yards, and 16 total touchdowns, showcasing rare dual-threat value out of the backfield.[1][4][7] His calling card is matchup stress: he can run between the tackles, catch like a slot weapon, and turn a routine checkdown into a chunk play, which is why he was described as a strong, dynamic, powerful athlete with lightning-quick feet and instincts you can’t teach.[3][11] If your team wants a back who can create explosive offense in space and handle real volume, Williams is the kind of fit that makes coordinators sleep with one eye open.[1][4]
