UC Davis’ battle-tested back with grit, balance, and a comeback story
Justin Williams is a former UC Davis running back who earned attention for his toughness and perseverance, overcoming major foot and groin injuries before becoming the Aggies’ senior-year starter in 2017. In 2015, he logged 54 rushing yards on 16 carries across limited action, and his story has been defined less by raw volume than by resilience, physicality, and value as a reliable depth piece when healthy. If you want a player with edge, maturity, and real program-character fit, he checks the box; if you want a high-usage modern feature back, the available data doesn’t show that profile.
