Former Kentucky player Donald Williams committed to Ole Miss, the school officially announced on Tuesday.
Williams averaged 16.6 points per game for a junior college, Antelope Valley, this past season. He shot 56 percent from the field and 45 percent from three-point range in making the all-Foothill Conference first team.
Williams sat out his freshman year as a redshirt for Billy Gillispie at Kentucky. A native of Baton Rouge, he was a two-time all-state player.
“Donald is a young man who has put in a lot of time and effort in his pursuit to return to the SEC,” Ole Miss Coach Andy Kennedy was quoted as saying in a news release. “He is a strong, aggressive, big wing who can really stretch the defense with his ability to shoot the ball.”
