VIDEO: Marcus Williams Feature

JEFFERSON CITY, Tenn. - Each week during the 2018 football season, an individual or a group of individuals within the Carson-Newman football program will be featured in a segment that appears on The Mike Turner Show.

This week, Eagle Sports Network broadcaster Michael Wottreng shines the spotlight on junior running back Marcus Williams (Apopka, Fla.) who has earned a bigger role in the C-N backfield. Late-game experience against Catawba has seen the rusher reward coaches for their trust in him.
