MN Daily: Maxx Williams makes an impact in first year

[BleedGopher]

per the Daily:

The Gophers football team was driving to the airport after its win over Indiana last Saturday when redshirt freshman tight end Maxx Williams got a surprise.

The Williams family had been at the game and was on the side of the road waiting for the team bus to pass.

“My dad calls me and goes, ‘Be ready,’” Williams said. “Two minutes later, we hear horns going off, people cheering out the windows of these vans. I was like, ‘Wow.’ I just stood up [and said], ‘Sorry, everyone. It just might be my family.’”

Williams comes from a family of collegiate and professional athletes and has become one of the team’s top targets early in his career. He’s the Gophers’ second-leading receiver this season with 15 receptions for 251 yards and three touchdowns.

“I think he’s an unbelievable player for the age he is,” head coach Jerry Kill said. “His future’s endless.”

FSN: Freshman TE Maxx Williams key piece of Gophers' offensive puzzle

Add Nelson, a true sophomore quarterback, into the equation and this Minnesota passing game is a young unit with plenty of potential for growth. Williams figures to be a key piece of that puzzle.

"It's a quarterback's dream, and when you've got the big tight ends out there who can create some mismatches, I think that's something we really like to look for in our offenses," Nelson said. "(We're) trying to get Maxx matched up on a safety or cornerback where he's bigger and he's pretty fast as well and he has some great hands, so Maxx is a matchup nightmare for them."

STrib: Gophers' Maxx Williams comes from impressive bloodlines

“If I’m not catching balls, I’m not going to complain,” Williams said. “That means other people are catching the ball, or we’re making plays running. I’ll let other people make plays as long as we’re winning games.”
