By the time Williams arrived on campus, he was so moved by the stories of Howard’s legacy that he requested and was granted uniform No. 6. He became the first defensive player to wear the number since Howard’s death. Make no mistake, Williams knew the added responsibility that went into wearing that number. “Since Day 1 when I stepped on this campus, I have been honored to wear that number knowing all eyes are going to be on me,” Williams said, “I have to work harder than I have ever worked before, on the field and off the field. It is a blessing to wear that number knowing that somebody like Jasper Howard and only a few number of players get to wear that No. 6. “I have so much respect for Jasper Howard, what he went through and his family, I have to be close to perfect wearing that number. Every day I wake up, everything I do, going to class on time, it makes me have a different approach about a lot of things.”” [/QUOTE]
