Fayetteville, Ark. - Highly touted receiver Cruz Williams won’t enroll at Arkansas and instead will play for Louisiana Tech, according to a news report.
The News-Star of Monroe, La., reported Thursday that the 6-4, 208 pound receiver out of Pulaski Academy in Little Rock will play for Louisiana Tech Coach Derek Dooley.
Williams told the News Star that it no longer felt like a good fit when he went to the Fayetteville campus a couple of months ago.
Williams caught 105 passes for 1,306 yards and 18 touchdowns as a senior and was a top recruit of new Arkansas coach Bobby Petrino. Williams had committed to Arkansas while Houston Nutt was still coach and had stuck with that commitment after Petrino was hired.
