Smart kid, but man that's got to be hard to walk away from. Good luck to him in whatever he decides to do.

Though Williams no longer will play, coach Bret Bielema told reporters Monday that Williams will remain significantly involved with the program.

“What we’ll do is proceed with what we fortunately can do in a bad situation,” Bielema said. “We’ll put him on a full medical scholarship where he is entitled to everything just as much as he was as the SEC (regular season) leading rusher.

“He’s able to take care of his academics. He’s actually on a progression that he’ll graduate — his goal is to graduate with a finance and accounting degree — and then also start a graduate program here at Arkansas. He’s going to work specifically with me a little bit in our recruiting department and also with the running backs. Kind of a work in progress.”
