Aeris Williams Is Set For One Final Solid Season

Aeris Williams isn’t the most electric running back out there. However, Williams is consistent and forceful. He runs through whatever opponents that stand in his way and gets plenty of yards after contact. That’s a truly valuable asset to have when your team’s offense is built on running the ball.

That’s why the Mississippi State football needs him heading into the upcoming 2018 season and has needed him throughout his career.

Now, Williams only has one more season left in the Maroon and White. It should be yet another solid one for him and a special one for this team.

Through his career up to this point, Williams has rushed for 2033 yards and 13 touchdowns on a total of 413 carries. He’s been efficient and moved the ball through the tackles well, complimenting Nick Fitzgerald’s explosive movements in the open field.

Williams has been consistent and steady. He’s moved the ball well throughout his career and has been incredibly important to MSU. He should be able to have one more year of reliably solid play this season.
