Former Ringgold High School and University of Tennessee at Chattanooga standout center Reid Williams was recently honored as the Football Championship Subdivision’s Rimington Award winner, which is given to the nation’s top center.
He was named a third-team STATS Perform (media) All-American this past season, which saw the Mocs finish 7-5 but miss out on the playoffs. Williams becomes only the second SoCon center to win the award, with Wofford’s Jared Singleton receiving the honor after the 2013 season.
“He’s a good football player and deserves it,” UTC head coach Rusty Wright said after Williams’ All-American honor. “He’s been a big part of that room and is recognized as one of the best in the nation.”
Williams was a three-time All-Southern Conference selection while at UTC, including a first-team honor in 2024. He started 34 games in his UTC career, including every game (25) of his final two seasons.
“Reid is a guy that is going to find him somewhere to play, period,” offensive line coach Kevin Revis said in 2023. “Everything runs through him at center, but the biggest reason you can build upon him is because of who he is. He’s going to be the same every day
