“This was the best decision for me,” Williams told Loy. “I love Notre Dame. I love the coaching staff. I love the players. I love every single thing about Notre Dame. This has nothing to do with the football program or anything with the staff. I can’t say it enough how much I appreciate my time at Notre Dame. This was just a decision about family. My family has been going through some stuff and my mom is dealing with some stuff and I just want to be a little closer to home right now. My mind has been elsewhere and that’s where my focus has been. Things are much better now, so I want to find a fresh start somewhere and put my focus and attention into it 100-percent.”
