PHILADELPHIA, Pennsylvania -- If you look at some of the top quarterbacks in college football, they can all throw the ball down the field -- there’s no question about that. Not only can Grambling State quarterback Johnathan Williams throw the ball downfield; he can throw it all over the gridiron.
Williams, a 5-foot-11, 195-pound senior, threw for 327 yards Saturday night, completing 20 of 36 passes and five touchdowns as Grambling State (3-2 overall, 3-0 SWAC) topped host Jackson State (1-4, 1-2) 59-27. The feat earned him ESPN.com HBCU Player of the Week honors.
The Tigers’ signal-caller has been on an absolute tear of late. A week ago, he completed 20 of 33 passes for 429 yards and six TDs, leading Grambling State to a 70-54 victory over Prairie View. In case you’re counting, Williams has thrown 11 TDs in the last two games. On the season, he has amassed 1,481 passing yards and 18 touchdowns -- a record among SWAC quarterbacks.
