Story

Early career

Born in Andrews, Texas,[1] Williams attended Andrews High School between 1995–1998.[2] During his career at Andrews, he rushed for 7,712 yards, which ranks 10th on the all-time records for Texas high school football.[2] In his senior season, he rushed for 2,121 yards and 27 touchdowns, leading all rushers in class 4A.[3]
In 2009, Williams was inducted in the Texas High School Football Hall of Fame during a banquet on May 2.[4]
[edit]College career

He began college career at Texas Tech, but transferred to the University of Alabama in 2001. Upon arriving at the "Capstone", Shaud had to sit out year to satisfy NCAA transfer rules. In 2002, due to an early season ending injury to starter Ahmaad Galloway, Williams was effective immediately. After taking his first carry from scrimmage against the University of Arkansas in 2002, Williams raced untouched 80 yards to the end zone. Shaud shared the running duties with former player Santonio Beard. The duo combined for a virtually unstoppable rushing attack engineered by former head coach Dennis Franchione. The Crimson Tide finished the season with 10-3 without a bowl appearance due to being on probation. In 2003, Shaud Williams rushed for over 1,300 yards in his first full year as a starter.
