Chapel Hill, N.C. ----- Former University of North Carolina football letterwinner Andre Williams has been named Coordinator of Football Activities for the Tar Heels.
Williams was a tailback on the Carolina football team from 2000-04 where he rushed for 706 yards and four touchdowns. He earned Academic All-ACC honors in 2001.
Williams will be responsible for several administrative duties, including player relations, financial aid matters and as a liaison with the academic support services.
"I'm excited to be back at Carolina, working with the football program," said Williams. "This is a great opportunity for me. I hope the positive experiences I had as a Carolina student-athlete will help make an impact with the players we have in this program."
A native of Durham, N.C., Williams graduated from Carolina in May, 2004, and is currently enrolled in his second year of the Sports Administration Master's Program. He served as an intern for the Atlantic Coast Conference, helping organize Olympic Sports championship events from August, 2004, to June, 2005.
"I'm pleased to have Andre join the program," said head coach John Bunting. "Andre was a tough player who led our team in rushing in 2001. I look forward to working with him as an administrator."
