Hall of Fame
Known around the country as "the voice of Bethune-Cookman Football", Isadore Williams actually began his career as public address announcer for the Wildcats while a student on campus in 1975. In short, Isadore Williams is the only voice that Wildcats football fans have known for 40 years. Since his beginning on the microphone as a student, Reverend Williams has only missed two football games for the Cats, and his legendary calls have inspired Wildcats fans for generations. He is revered for his traditional opening line "Who Will Ascend to the Top of the Mountain." He has called over 220 Wildcats football games, and is also a legend as the play-by-play announcer each Friday night for his hometown Lake City Columbia High School football team. Reverend Williams is always comfortable and inspiring, whether in the announcers' booth on a Friday or Saturday, or in the pulpit as the longtime pastor of the historic Philadelphia Baptist Church in Lake City, and continues to provide inspiration to his flock in Lake City, as well as to Wildcats and supporters across the country. His unmistakable voice is the sound of hope – whether on the field of competition or the mission field.
