Williams is a former walk-on who worked is way into being LSU’s feature back last season following Armoni Goodwin’s injury. He led Tigers running backs last fall with 532 yards on the ground, and he also had six rushing touchdowns.
Wingo is a transfer from Missouri who was thrust into a starting role due to Maason Smith’s injury. He had a breakout season, earning All-SEC honors, and he will be paired up with Smith this season.
