Liberty point guard Kennedi Williams transfers to Oregon

The Oregon Ducks women’s basketball program has added Liberty point guard Kennedi Williams to the roster.

Kelly Graves is gaining a player instead of losing players via the transfer portal.

The Oregon Ducks women’s basketball program announced that point guard Kennedi Williams, formerly of Liberty University, will be headed to Eugene to continue her career.

At 5-foot-7, Williams will be an option to replace Te-Hina Paopao at the point position. She played in all 33 of Liberty’s games last season, starting at point guard in each of the last 24 contests. Her 126 assists were the most by a Lady Flame since the 2014-15 season and became the first player to lead Liberty in assists in back-to-back seasons since Sadalia Ellis did so in three straight campaigns (2013-16).

Williams is from Douglasville, GA and will have two years of eligibility remaining.
