Milton RB commits to Tennessee

Milton junior tailback Toney Williams spent the majority of his childhood in residing in Chattanooga.

But that fact had little to do with his decision to commit to Tennessee on Saturday.

“I moved [to metro Atlanta] in the seventh grade,” Williams said. “But I didn’t really growing up liking any team.

“I just liked the facilities and coaches at Tennessee. I felt real comfortable when I went up there for junior day.”

Williams admitted that the timing of his commitment coincided with the start of spring practice at Milton on Monday.

“Yeah, it did,” he said. “I just wanted to have it out of the way before spring practice started so I can focus on my high school football.”

The 6-foot-1, 230-pound Williams chose the Volunteers over scholarship offers from Arkansas, Georgia Tech, Indiana, Kentucky, Mississippi State, N.C. State and Rutgers.
