per Sid:
Maxx’s entire family is tied to Gophers tradition. Brian lettered for the Gophers from 1986 to ’88 before a long NFL career with the New York Giants; Maxx’s mother, Rochele (Goetz), was a volleyball player with the Gophers from 1984 to ’87, serving as team captain and receiving the Big Ten Medal of Honor in 1988; and his uncle Ron Goetz was a fullback and linebacker for the Gophers.
“I think just growing up in a sports family has a lot of influence,” Maxx Williams said. “My dad played here, my uncle played here, my mom was here as an athlete, so just having that to fall back on and really talk to them about things they went through, knowing that I’m going through them now.”
Maxx is certainly carrying on that tradition. He is only a sophomore but is already one of the most important players on the team. As a freshman in 2013, he led the team in receiving yards with 417 and tied for the team lead with 25 receptions and six touchdowns.
