A native of Phoenix, Arizona, Williams graduated from Putnam (CT) Science Academy. He was second-team All-Big South this season, coming off first-team Big South All-Freshman accolades last year.

On3 caught up with Williams to see which schools have reached out to him in the 24-hours since he put his name in the portal.

“Washington State, Oregon State, Ole Miss, Santa Clara, Utah State, Loyola-Chicago, Pepperdine, Western Kentucky, and Grand Canyon,” Williams said.

D’maurian Williams chose Gardner-Webb over claimed offers from San Francisco, Portland, New Hampshire, Wagner, Idaho State, Monmouth, Cal Baptist, Bradley, Portland State, and Montana. This will be the sophomores first time transferring; he has two years of eligibility remaining.
