OU's Trent Williams to play for the Sooners another season
01/14/2009 NORMAN — Right tackle Trent Williams said Wednesday he will return to Oklahoma for another season, according to ESPN. Williams is OU’s only returning...

> “We are pleased that these players are returning to our program,” said OU head coach Bob Stoops. “They understand the value of gaining another year of experience and improving their position in the draft along with the value of either finishing their degree or being within a few hours of completing it.

“I also think our players recognize the opportunities we have as a program to pursue more championships and that’s something that means a lot to all of us.”

Gresham caught 14 touchdown passes last season, the most ever by an Oklahoma tight end. With 26 in his career he is only five behind the career mark by all Sooners set by current Baltimore Raven Mark Clayton.

Williams started the season opener at left tackle then started the remaining 13 games at right tackle. He will be the only full-time starter returning along the OU offensive line.

“I feel like I can improve my draft status by staying one more year,” Williams said. “I am also going to moving a lot farther along with my degree and I feel like we can compete for more championships.”
