Efficient, pocket-based QB powering South Carolina State's passing game
In the 2025 season, William Atkins IV emerged as a steady, high-volume passer for South Carolina State, finishing with 2,368 passing yards, 17 touchdowns, 4 interceptions, and a 63.1% completion rate[8][13]. He’s a classic timing-and-touch quarterback with enough size to hold up at 6-1, 215, and he’s shown he can carry an offense in big spots, including a 428-yard, 4-TD game that earned MEAC Offensive Player of the Week honors[12]. If you want a poised distributor who keeps the ball out of trouble, he’s your guy[13].
