I wish Shaud the best of luck and thanks. Williams, a junior from Andrews, confirmed Wednesday that he was considering a transfer from Tech before the start of the fall semester. If he leaves, his likely destination is Texas Christian, where he would be required to sit out a year before being eligible to play again in 2002. He would have two years of eligibility left. I have to talk to coach Leach before I decide anything, and I don't want to talk about it until I sit down and talk to him.
Leach is out of town on a recruiting trip.
Williams led the team with 658 yards rushing in 1999, when he was named the offensive freshman of the year in the Big 12 Conference. He came to Tech as one Tech's most heralded recruits and quickly made his mark in the ball-control offense under former head coach Spike Dykes. One year later, Williams sometimes struggled to adjust to the new pass-based offense under Leach. He finished with 223 yards on 55 carries with 48 catches for 299 yards. Williams also participated for the first time this spring on the Tech baseball team.
