Saluki football lands former Murray State QB DJ Williams on National Signing Day

CARBONDALE, IL (WSIL) -- Murray-State Quarterback DJ Williams is officially a member of the Dawgs. 

Saluki football lands former Murray State QB DJ Williams on National Signing Day

Williams was first eyed by ¾ÅÓÎÌåÓý Illinois a few weeks ago. On Wednesday, the Salukis made it official as part of National Signing Day for College Football. He will be a part of the team for the next two years. 

The Harvey, IL native selects SIU over East Tennessee State and Tennessee State. He will now instantly compete with Marion's own Hunter Simmons for the starting Quarterback spot. 

Williams is a dual-threat Quarterback who ended this season with 11 touchdowns and 9 interceptions. He was the OVC 20-21 Freshman of the Year.

Coach Hill says the quarterback spot, as well as the rest of the roster, is wide open.

"You've got to create competition, at every position, not just quarterback so there are no depth charts for us," Hill said. "When we get in the spring, it's about re-earning it. It's about guys that had phenomenal years for us that are coming back understand the standard that they have to uphold or other guys will take their spot."

Williams is one of 22 new Salukis.
