The Washington Pigskin Club named him prep defensive player of the year for the metropolitan area. Williams was regarded as one of the best high school defensive backs in the nation and No. He was the kind of bone-cruncher who would win all-Big Eight mention a couple of times and All-World honors as a senior. Receivers heard his footsteps in their sleep.

Williams was the kind of defensive back at Anacostia High School in Washington, D.C., who could take a quarterback completely out of his game plan. After all, that's what a Parade All-America is supposed to be. When Williams signed a letter of intent with OSU in February of 1982 he was destined to become a four-year starter. Throw that out at the local pub, wait for the laughter to subside and then listen for the predictable response. As in the demise of a high school Parade All-America.ĭemise (rhymes with release) Williams, a fourth-year junior-to-be, probably will win a starting job at right cornerback for OSU this spring.

STILLWATER Nicknames can be cruel and it didn't take much imagination for some Oklahoma State football fans to tag a mean one on Demise Williams.

Tell me why im waiting osu
