Tennessee State senior Javarris Williams, one of the two running backs on the Black College All-America team, will compete in Saturday’s 84th annual East-West Shrine Game in Houston.
Williams will be joined on the East squad by Tiger teammate Cecil Newton and Stillman’s Sammie Lee Hill. The East will be led by former NFL and college coach Bobby Ross, who led Georgia Tech to the 1990 national title and led the San Diego Chargers to the Super Bowl following the 1994 season.
