Thomas Williams
Athlete, Class of 2023
Powdersville, Greenville, SC
5-10, 180
Early in his childhood, Powdersville (SC) three-star athlete Thomas Williams played baseball, in addition to football. By age eight, he’d already decided to concentrate solely on football.
Even then, Williams said he was sure with his decision. The same level of confidence he felt then, Williams said he feels now about his commitment on July 4 to Virginia Tech. It’s all about connections, which he first felt with coach Brent Pry at his previous stop, Penn State. It didn’t take long for those feelings to move to the Hokies, as Pry moved.
“I like the coaches, Coach (Derek) Jones, Coach (Michael) Hazel and Coach (Brent) Pry,” Williams said. “Coach Pry and Coach Hazel, they were at Penn State, and they offered me there.

I felt like they showed their loyalty with me, staying with me even though the staffs changed.”
