BATON ROUGE – LSU running back Josh Williams will appear in the Tropical Bowl All-Star Game on Sunday in Daytona Beach, Florida.
Williams is among 10 LSU players invited to take part in postseason All-Star games for those who have exhausted their college eligibility. The Tigers have three players taking part in the East-West Shrine Bowl next week and six in the Senior Bowl in two weeks.
On Sunday, Williams will play for the National Team and will wear No. 39. Kickoff for the 10th annual Tropical Bowl is scheduled for 10 a.m. CT at Municipal Stadium in Daytona Beach.
Williams capped his six-year LSU career with 1,494 rushing yards and 17 touchdowns. He caught 31 passes for 263 yards during his 60-game career with the Tigers.
A former walk-on, Williams was a member of LSU’s 2019 national championship team.

During his time at LSU, Williams earned SEC Academic Honor Roll status four times, graduated with two degrees, including an MBA in December of 2023.
