Seminole's Donyelle Williams signed a full scholarship with Division II Delta State in Cleveland, Miss. As a senior, the 5-foot-6, 175-pound running back averaged 13.2 yards per carry with 10 touchdowns.
"He was always the kid that was too small. And in everything he has ever done, he's had to prove himself," Seminole coach Sam Roper said. "All he needed was an opportunity, and Delta State was willing to give him that."
One of Williams' blockers, center Ryan Bourdeau, signed with Division III Kentucky Wesleyan in Owensboro, Ky. He will be the third Warhawk on the Panthers roster, joining receiver Brent Graves and linebacker Frank Wintrich.
