Ty'Son Williams Transferring from UNC: Latest Comments and Reaction

Mike ChiariJun 16, 2016

After just one season, sophomore running back Ty'Son Williams is transferring from North Carolina.

According to Andrew Carter of the News & Observer, UNC football spokesman Kevin Best revealed the Sumter, South Carolina, native's decision.

Williams was used sparingly as a freshman last season, rushing for just 57 yards on 19 carries and failing to find the end zone.

He ranked sixth on the team in rushing and was slated to be behind returning leading rusher Elijah Hood as well as T.J. Logan on the depth chart.

Neither Williams nor Best announced where the 6'0", 220-pound running back intends to transfer.

The former Crestwood High School standout was rated a 4-star recruit and ranked as the No. 22 running back and No. 280 overall player in his class by 247Sports.

Losing him doesn't figure to have much of an immediate impact on the Tar Heels since Hood is a reigning All-ACC selection, but Williams' departure could come back to haunt them down the line if he lives up to his potential elsewhere.
