…but being good is also nice

And then there was Jamaal Williams. BYU’s all-time leading rusher. BYU’s swaggy, flashy, all-around great running back that was determined to go out on a high note. And he broke glass.

210 yards on 26 carries. Big runs and hard yards. Breaking into the secondary, and literally daring DBs to come up and tackle him. Swag, people.

Out of the many superlatives, Jamaal’s best moment was his final touchdown run for BYU football. With help from a block by Trinnaman that removed a defender from the zip code, Jamaal’s final dash for a score was so very him.

Swagdaddy, we salute you.
