Karr’s D’Andre Williams commits to play baseball at Southern

NEW ORLEANS -- Edna Karr senior D’Andre Williams knows all about his school’s rich football tradition.

Williams plays outside linebacker for the Cougars during the fall.

But he also plays catcher for the baseball team, and that’s the sport he plans to pursue in college.

Williams committed to Southern University on Monday.

“I’ve played baseball all of my life and it’s always been my favorite sport,” Williams said. “We want to be able to show people this is more than just a football school.”

Williams, who bats third in Karr’s lineup, is hitting .460 with 30 RBIs. His RBI total ranks second in the city, Karr coach Donnie Russell said.
