Lee County’s Steven Williams lands offer from Alabama

LEESBURG — Lee County junior defensive end Steven Williams received his first college football offer Tuesday, and it came from Alabama.

At 6-foot-8 and 280 pounds, Williams has the size to stand out on the Trojans’ defensive front. Lee County head coach Dean Fabrizio said it’s what Williams can do at that size that sets him apart.

“Steven moves incredibly well for a person his size,” Fabrizio said. “He is still learning the game, but the sky is the limit for him ability-wise.”

Williams is the son of Meghan Hill, a teacher at Lee County High School. The offer came during playoff week for the Trojans, who host Northside at 7:30 p.m. Friday in the first round of the Class 6A playoffs.
