NEW ORLEANS -- ULM defensive back Wydett Williams Jr. was voted Sun Belt Conference Defensive Player of the Week after a media member panel vote on Monday (Sept. 2). Williams became the first ULM football player to earn SBC Player of the Week recognition since 2021.

Williams, a native of Lake Providence, La. and graduate of General Trass High School, was a standout for the Warhawk defense in the team's week one win over Jackson State. Williams tallied a game-high 10 tackles and an interception in his ULM debut. The Delta State transfer added 0.5 sacks and 0.5 TFLs on opening night.

Williams and the ULM football team will be back at Malone Stadium on Saturday (Sept. 7) night to take on UAB at 6 p.m. Tickets are on sale, and fans can secure their seats by visiting the ULM football ticket page.
