DEL.ICIO.USWorth County DE Meshack Williams has to work on grades
The Atlanta Journal-Constitution
Categories
Meshack Williams is a rarity because he could get a football scholarship based on his physique. Standing 6-foot-4, weighing 225 — without an ounce of fat — draws attention.
But the Worth County senior is not merely a physical freak. He made the AJC Class AAA All-State team because of performance during the 2008 season.
Now he’s got to work on his grades.
Williams will be forced to play at a junior college this fall after falling behind academically as a freshman and sophomore in high school.
“I’ve been talking to South Carolina, Georgia Military, Jacksonville State and Hutchinson [Junior College in Kansas],” said Williams, who had a sack in the recent Georgia Athletic Coaches Association North-South Football Classic.
‘It is a good chance I’ll end up going to a junior college. It doesn’t really matter where. I just want to play. I don’t have any favorites [major-college wise]. I just want to be out there playing two years from now.”
