Gavin Williams News, Rumors, Updates - Northern Illinois Huskies

Runs for touchdown in win Williams logged six rushes for 65 yards and one touchdown and gathered in 3 of 4 targets for 26 yards during Saturday's 24-16 victory over Central Michigan.

Impact Although Williams had just six rushes in the win over the Chippewas, he made the most of it with over 10 yards per carry and a touchdown. The senior running back saw some volatile output this season, but he did end the year with some huge games. He ended out the regular season with 135 attempts for 741 yards and four touchdowns.

45 yards in loss Williams accrued six carries for 45 yards and caught 4 of 6 targets for 12 yards during Tuesday's 20-9 loss to Miami (OH).

Impact Williams was silenced pretty heavily by the Redhawks, though he wasn't given that many chances on the ground. He'll look to get more involved as the Huskies take on Central Michigan next Saturday.

101 rushing yards vs. Zips Williams logged nine rushes for 101 yards and one touchdown and hauled in all two targets for 35 yards during Wednesday's 29-16 victory against Akron.

Impact Williams benefitted greatly by a rushing wall versus the Zips, being one of two Huskies' running backs to amass 100 rushing yards in the matchup alongside freshmanTelly Johnson. The senior running back took a bit of a backseat role to Johnson, but both ball carriers should be products of a successful committee if Antario Brown (leg) stays out.

Pair of touchdowns vs. WMU Williams posted eight rushes for 42 yards and one touchdown and gathered in all three targets for 22 yards and one touchdown during Wednesday's 42-28 victory against Western Michig...

Impact Although running back Telly Johnson returned at full capacity to the field versus the Broncos, Williams still received a high volume of output especially after starting running back Antario Brown had to leave the game with a leg injury. Williams punched in a five-yard receiving score in the final seconds of the first half and also found the end zone in the third quarter. The senior running back still looks to be a big part of the Huskies offense due to the high rushing volume, and he should continue to see even more usage if Brown's injury is long-term.

NOVEMBER 7 • ROTOWIRE

78 yards in low-producing loss Williams posted 16 rushes for 78 yards and reeled in 2 of 6 targets for 17 yards during Saturday's 13-6 loss to Toledo.

Impact Williams has commanded the bulk of carries for the Huskies in the recent weeks, but an inability to find the end zone has become a problem for the running back's stats on paper. The senior ball carrier now has 64 attempts for 305 yards and one touchdown in the last three games, but his lack of presence in the team's receiving game means touchdowns are what will need to elevate his output each week.

OCTOBER 21 • ROTOWIRE

Best performance of the year Williams had 19 rushes for 125 yards and one touchdown and caught 0 of 1 targets for zero yards during Saturday's 34-20 win against Massachusetts.

Impact Williams had a huge performance as result of the Huskies' run-heavy script, and he could continue to do so in the future if the team keeps this vision. The running back did punch in his sole score in the fourth quarter when the game was tilting in Northern Illinois' favor, but he showed a consistent ability to run the football effectively throughout the game.

OCTOBER 6 • ROTOWIRE

Tops 100 yards vs. Kent State Williams had 17 carries for 103 yards and one catch for 12 yards Saturday against Kent State.

Impact Antario Brown (undisclosed) came into the game a little banged up, so Williams got more work with a season-high in carries and yards.

NOVEMBER 25, 2023 • ROTOWIRE

Runs for 80 yards against EMU Williams had seven carries for a team-high 80 yards and four catches for 19 yards against Eastern Michigan on Saturday.

Impact Williams has seen an uptick in work lately, with 27 carries over the last three games and seven catches over the last two. He also scored in back-to-back games before Saturday, but Antario Brown is still around to squash his fantasy ceiling.
