Bennett Williams – Noteworthy – Transaction
S Bennett Williams announced on social media that he has been dismissed from the football team. Williams, who was suspended for the first three games this season due to an unspecified violation of team rules, took full responsibility for his actions in a posting on his Twitter account. “A part of growing up is realizing that sometimes relationships don’t work out,” Williams wrote. “I’d like to thank the University of Illinois, coaches and staff for originally believing in me and giving me a chance. I’m proud of what I’ve accomplished here. … My biggest regret is letting down people I love the most, and those who have supported me throughout my journey. To them I say that I will strive to make you proud. I look forward to a bright future and finding the best place for me to grow as a player and a person.”
