"Williams Named To Buck Buchanan Award Watch List
PHILEDELPHIA, Pa. – Senior defensive tackle Xavier Williams has been named to the 2014 Buck Buchanan Watch List, it was announced today by The Sports Network.
The Buck Buchanan Award is given to the most outstanding defensive player in the FCS by The Sports Network. The 2014 season marks the 20th anniversary of the award.
Williams is a part of the Panther defense that ranks second in the FCS with 42 sacks. Williams' size and speed makes him hard for opposing offensive lineman to deal with, notching a career-high 76 tackles heading into the final game of the regular season.
He has 12 tackles for loss of 60 yards, three pass breakups and a team-leading eight sacks. He helped the Panther defense limit defending FCS champions NDSU to only 43 rushing yards after the Bison came into the game ranked 10th in the country, averaging 244.4 yards/game.
The preseason All-American joins 24 other defensive student-athletes on the list. The Buck Buchanan Award winner will be selected by a national panel of over 150 sports information and media relations directors, broadcasters, writers and other dignitaries following the regular season.
Williams and the Panthers will return to action Saturday, Nov. 22 when they host Missouri State for Senior Night. The game is set to kick off at 4 p.m."
