Marist’s Chris Williamson hopes for Alabama offer

Marist punter Chris Williamson said he is under consideration for a scholarship offer from Alabama after being named “Best Punter” at the Crimson Tide’s camp earlier this summer.

“I kicked it well, and Alabama said they liked what they saw,” Williamson said. “They said they weren’t sure whether or not they were going to offer a punter this year. They hadn’t made up their minds.

“[Alabama] told me to send them film from my first few games and then they would take it from there. That’s pretty exciting, to be considered.”

Wake Forest is also showing interest in Williamson, who has an offer from South Alabama. He also attended camps at Georgia and Georgia Tech, and said neither school showed much interest in signing a punter for the 2009 class.

The 6-foot-3, 195-pound Williamson averaged 38.5 yards per punt last year. Said Marist coach Alan Chadwick, “We’re hoping to get him up to 40 or so this year, he’s really improved.”

Good luck kid, schools like that will feed you a bunch of crap up until signing day.

Albama’s tanning facilities are really lackluster, so Williamson will certainly have to take that into consideration.
