Williams looms large in secondary
Posted Aug 31, 2009
The surname ‘Williams’ is a very important one in this day and age within the athletic landscape at UNC. The name will always be significant in basketball so long as Hall of Famer Roy Williams is still coaching, but on the football field it’s also a important last name, as two of UNC’s top safeties, Deunta Williams and Melvin Williams, along with a freshman offensive lineman Brennan Williams, all share the name.
