Bainbridge — Nick Williams solidified the next fours years of his college football career Wednesday morning, signing with Georgia at 9:35 a.m. during a ceremony at the school’s media center.
The signing came some six months after the Bainbridge linebacker committed to the program.
“They just had my heart,” Williams said of Georgia, adding Alabama and Louisville were right there in the running until the very last day. “But I’ll never forget the day [Georgia] coach Mark Richt called me and offered me a scholarship.
“It’d always been a dream of mine to play for the Bulldogs, so once I heard his voice — heard him ask me — it was pretty much over.”
Williams says he hopes to redshirt his first season and spend time in the weight room ready to come out in 2009 as a contender for a starting job.

Nick, i like the film on you that ive seen. Some kids are ashamed to redshirt-but what an opportunity to get some classes behind you and learn the system. Knowshon is a great example of how ready you can be after the redshirt year . Best of luck . We are pulling for you.

We don’t need that traitor Dwayne Allen.. he is not a team player. He belongs with Clemson in the Tidy Bowl which is where they will be.
