The first time I saw Kyle Williams was at an Iowa spring football event at Kinnick Stadium. The kid was a Lawrence Taylor starter kit. He had everything you'd want in a linebacker and more. An Iowa coach even confided that day, "He's that big and strong and he can run, too."
He came to Iowa, redshirted and eventually left because of academics. His story since then has taken tragic turns.
Today, Williams Link was sentenced to 10 years for attacking an Illinois woman. This is on top of the 37 years he's already serving for attacking two female students at Purdue, where he transferred after leaving Iowa in 2004.
Iowa coach Kirk Ferentz had this to say about Williams last summer at the Big Ten media days in Chicago: ""Obviously, there's something amiss there. The description of what took place, I don't think anybody would do that without something being amiss."
