Darrel Williams (born Devante John Williams) on April 15th, 2010, is an American football running back who is currently a S19 DSFL Draft prospect. He formerly played for the Myrtle Beach Buccaneers. He also played college football for LSU as a third down back before joining the DSFL late in the 2033, the eighteenth season of the NSFL.

Early years

Darrel Williams was born in a small city deep in Louisiana, and his birth name was officially Devante Williams. Devante didn't have much growing up, as both of his parents struggled at times to find jobs and keep their family of five kids afloat. One thing that always motivated Devante was his idol, the actual Darrel Williams. As Devante grew up, he watched a lot of pro football and loved the NFL Darrel's style of play, and wanted himself to have a great combination of speed, catching ability, and a good dose of strength to push his way to the top. As well, Devante loved hearing how similar he was to Darrel and aspired to be like him in high school.

Once he attended John Ehret High School, Devante quickly rose to the top of his class, even as a freshman. His combination of skills dominated other teams who had no one who could tackle Devante and keep up with him at the same time. This deadly combination led to two state championships and many accolades for Darrel, and he was a highly touted recruit. In honor of Darrel Williams, Devante chose to head to LSU, even though there were many other talented backs and players at LSU. Finally, after he graduated, Devante changed his name officially from Devante John Williams to Darrel Williams. In his opinion, he was too similar to Darrel to not take his name and try to improve his legacy at LSU.

College career

Darrel quickly realized that LSU had much, much higher competition than what was at John Ehret High School. His combination of speed, catching, and strength was extremely valuable at the high school level, but once he hit college there were plenty of players who matched up with him at the size and speed level. Darrel was quickly redshirted his freshman year and played sparingly the following year, but as a redshirt sophomore Darrel began to hit his groove. He realized that he didn't have the endurance to run every down and embraced his new role as third down back in the offense. His season ended with no accolades, but he was appearing on the map for DSFL and NSFL teams.

His junior year wasn't much different. Darrel still struggled to develop any of his skills to the point of where he could dominate the competition, and always felt one step behind his competitors. Unlike his competitors, however, Darrel got plenty of rest and played his heart out on every down and opportunity he was given. Heading into senior year, LSU finally gave Darrel the starting job as RB and he started out incredibly well, running for over 150 yards and two scores in his first game. But after that he struggled more and more each game and was eventually returned to his role at third-down back. Darrel had finally finished a long five years at college, but many asked if he could actually play at the pro level. He knew he had to at least try.

Professional career

Darrel took some time off to train so he could make a DSFL roster, and then finally joined the DSFL in the last two weeks of the season. The only team that wanted Darrel was the Myrtle Beach Buccaneers, who had an incredible speed back in Quindarius Tyerucker, but needed someone to take carries behind him when he was gassed. Darrel made his debut against the Luchadores and had a solid performance, racking up 35 yards on 8 carries in the blowout loss. In his second game against the Buccaneers, Darrel improved and ran for 5.1 YPC, and again was given 8 carries. He did not have a reception during the 2033 season and finished the year with a solid 4.8 YPC. He was now eligible to be drafted in the S19 DSFL Draft.
