CHAMPAIGN, Ill. – If the name Isaiah Williams rings a bell with Illinois football fans, it’s for good reason.
The original Isiah "Juice" Williams was a highly touted recruit who quarterbacked the Illini to the 2008 Rose Bowl. The next Isaiah Williams was another highly sought after high school quarterback who switched to wide receiver and had a successful All-Big Ten career for the Illini and is now a member of the Cincinnati Bengals.
Now, the Illini may be in position to land another Isaiah Williams, this one from the Lone Star State and on the defensive side of the ball.
