Now Healthy, Marquise Williams Polishing His Craft

Posted Jul 20, 2015
Marquise Williams is finally healthy. The Charlotte, N.C. native had surgery to repair a torn labrum in his left hip in February and was cleared to return to football last month. “I haven’t felt this good since my sophomore year in high school,” Williams said. Williams initially hurt his hip in UNC’s win at Pittsburgh in November 2013. The lingering effects of the injury led to some improper technique. (Inside Carolina)
