>>Nazir Williams didn't play football as a freshman in 2011 because he didn't want to. He was a basketball player.
But after some convincing from his good friend Stefon Bowman and Bridgeton High School athletic director Cyndy Wilks, who was his fourth grade teacher, Williams decided to start his football career as a sophomore.
And he's never looked back. As a senior in 2014-15, Williams excelled in both sports, becoming a Daily Journal First-Teamer in each.
Because of his achievements on the football field and the basketball court, Williams has been selected as The Daily Journal's Male Athlete of the Year.<<
>>During the football season, Williams dominated on offense and defense, helping lead the Bulldogs to the Group III South semifinals. As a wide receiver, he caught 35 passes for 566 yards and three touchdowns. And as a linebacker, he had 45 tackles, 5 tackles for loss and 9 sacks. And he kept putting up impressive numbers when basketball season started. The 6-foot, 4-inch, 230-pounder averaged 13 points and 11.5 rebounds per game — both led his team — and was a tough, old-school defender.<
