Six questions with UNC's Deunta Williams

Posted Jul 24, 2008

Last season, UNC’s Deunta Williams switched from wide receiver to safety. The move paid off. The Jacksonville native finished with 57 tackles and three interceptions en route to being named ACC Defensive Rookie of the Year by the Associated Press. He was also named first-team freshman All-America by several publications. We caught up with him and asked about a variety of topics at this week’s ACC Kickoff in Greensboro, Ga.
