Texas LT Connor Williams injured in 1st half against USC, will not return
Posted September 16th, 2017
Texas junior left tackle Connor Williams suffered an injury to his left knee during the second quarter of the game Saturday against USC.
Jerrod Heard came in at quarterback on first down and was tackled into Williams. He received help walking off the field, and was later taken to the locker room.
The Longhorns announced that Williams will not return to the game.
Texas shifted right tackle Tristan Nickelson to Williams’ spot at left tackle and brought Denzel Okafor in to play right tackle.
Williams was a consensus All-American as a sophomore in 2016.

Heard was tackled and fell onto Connor Williams’ left leg. That’s Texas’ best player. Can’t afford to lose him. #hookem

Connor Williams is down. Lying flat on his stomach after that first-down run by Jerrod Heard.
