The honors continue to come for two Bethune-Cookman University Wildcats in the sport of football as senior free safety Bobbie Williams and senior inside linebacker Ronnie McCullough have recently been named to the AP All-America Team for defense.
Beginning with Williams, a hard-hitting free safety from the football-heavy city of Miami, he completed a stellar career as a Wildcat with 15 interceptions to his credit. That allowed Williams to finish tied for fourth place all-time in career interceptions alongside John Bostic (1980-83). Williams also ended the season with 77 tackles ... ending his career with 262 total tackles. Williams was a First Team All-MEAC selection this year for the second time in his career.
Williams was named as a First Team defensive back by the Associated Press. Williams was named as a Sports Network and Walter Camp All-America selection two years ago.
