Michigan State football commit not signing on NSD

Only one commit did not sign with MSU today:

While Michigan State received a ton of good news on National Signing Day, whether it be retaining Aydan West, flipping Jace Clarizio or adding Leonard Ah-You, the Spartans have had a good day overall. While overall a good day, there was one piece of bad news.

MSU athlete commit Bryson Williams did not elect to sign with his Orchard Lake St. May’s teammates Charles White and Jayden Savoury.

It appears that MSU will have to fend off other power conference schools like Kansas to hold on to the commitment of the instate offensive athlete.

Badger Countdown: Former number 91 successful away from football

The start of the Badger football season is now only 91 days away and we continue our countdown to the opener Sept. 2 against Buffalo.

The start of the Badger football season is now only 91 days away and we continue our countdown to the opener Sept. 2 against Buffalo at Camp Randall. Bryson Williams wore number 91 with Wisconsin, wrapping up his four-year collegiate career with the team’s 2021 Las Vegas Bowl win over Arizona State.

Williams was an interior defensive lineman from 2018-2021, recording 27 career tackles and a pass deflection. What makes him special is his story off the field.

After he was rejected from the Business School as a sophomore, Williams had to buckled down in class and he was admitted on his second attempt. He didn’t just relish in his admittance, he secured an internship with Morgan Stanley, the American multinational investment bank and financial services company.

Although his football career didn’t continue past 2021, the Lincoln, Nebraska native was hired out of school by Morgan Stanley and moved out to New York City.

Part of the reason why Williams chose Madison was because of the excellent Business School and he certainly took advantage of the academic advantages that UW provides.
