Williams to start for Kansas against UAB amid Preston injury
KU quarterback Asheiki Preston remains out with a broken rib and collapsed lung. Williams, a 6 foot 2 transfer from Diablo Valley, will start versus Alabama Birmingham while Preston heals, with red shirt status set aside. Coach Glen Mason notes Preston could return later in October, but safety and pain guide decisions. Diablo CC alum Williams expects a steeper jump to Division One speed and says he learned from Preston. Leading KU rusher June Henley may miss the game with a shoulder injury.
