that former Oregon TE Brandon Williams may be interested in playing basketball?

Anybody know what his past experience was like?

He wanted to but from what I understand his spinal condition prohibits any sports with possible contact. He has a narrowed area that could paralyze him in an instant. He's wise to move on.

Williams played some basketball while at JUCO, so he does have some college experience with basketball.

Just talking out of my ass here, but isn't the roster limit 15?

Ashaolu
Barron
Brown
Emory
Jacob
Joseph
Kingma
Kuemper
Loyd
Nared
Sim
Singler
Woods

We've got 13 scholarship players, and:

Larson
Lucenti

as walk-ons. I don't believe we'd even have a spot for Williams to walk-on even if we wanted him to, which of course we wouldn't.

We had, like, five walk-ons on the roster last year because we didn't use all of our scholarships. Teams who use all 13 scholarships only take 2 walk-ons.
