TALLAHASSEE, Florida -- Montavius Williams is playing college football as a wide receiver at FAMU, a dream he thought was shattered twice.
First it was his left knee that required surgery to repair a torn meniscus. Three seasons later, his right knee required surgery because of a similar injury.
“I was wondering if I would play again, but when I got on my feet, I started working again,” said Williams, a former standout wide receiver at Godby. “I felt my feet back under me.”
Williams used them so well that he has earned a backup role, which he’s embracing at FAMU. It’s the reward for his hustle and consistency, said receivers coach Ernie Mills, who saw Williams work out for the first time when preseason camp started three weeks ago.

Transfers could give FAMU Rattlers a big boost
TALLAHASSEE, Florida -- FAMU offensive coordinator Quinn Gray didn’t have to say much when he received the phone call from wide receiver Casey Glines.
Glines, a 6-foot-6 junior college transfer from Utah, explained to Gray that he wanted to come play for the Rattlers. And once Gray confirmed that FAMU would have a scholarship waiting, Glines was ready to go.
“That’s all it took,” Gray said Tuesday, explaining how he got the junior college transfer to become a Rattler.
Linebacker Kevin Wilson wanted to transfer in to FAMU because it was closer to his home in Daphne, Ala. The move also was prompted after a coaching change at the University of Houston left him wondering about his football future, he said.
