Defensive back Bennett Williams to return for senior season

Defensive back Bennett Williams has announced he will return to Eugene for his senior season.

In the world of players transferring and coaches coming and going, it’s nice to see someone staying.

Defensive back Bennett Williams announced on Twitter that he will return to Eugene for his senior season. The 6-foot-1, 205-pounder from Campbell, Calif. had his season cut short with a broken fibula.

Ironically, the injury occurred in practice and not in an actual game. In the first four games, Williams had 20 tackles and three interceptions.

Williams showed out during the Ohio State game where the Ducks upset the Buckeyes 35-28. The nickel safety managed eight tackles and one of those for a loss.

He had a pick against Stony Brook and then intercepted Arizona twice in the Pac-12 opener.
