Bobcat defensive back Drenard Williams to have shoulder surgery

There was some bad news to come out of Texas State's media day today.

The Bobcats learned defensive back Drenard Williams will undergo season-ending shoulder surgery Aug. 10. Williams started last season at cornerback for Texas State after transferring from Iowa State.

"As the summer wore on, it got looser and looser, and kept slipping out on him," Bobcat head coach Brad Wright said. "He could have maybe played through it, but who knows. He's doing what's best for him in the long run. We fully expect him to recover."

Derek Lopez and Darryl Morris are expected to compete for Williams' position this fall.

Not good. Just hope one of these boys can fill some very big shoes.

Agreed. It's going to be a two-man race for the position (Darryl Morris and Derek Lopez), so we'll see soon enough who earns it.
