Men's Basketball Inks Desmond Williams for 2019-20

Troy, Ala. – Guard Desmond Williams has signed a National Letter of Intent to join the Troy men's basketball team for the 2019-20 season, head coach Phil Cunningham announced on Friday morning.

Williams, a 6'1 point guard from Montgomery, Ala., attends Brewbaker Technology Magnet High School where he is excelling on the court and academically, posting a 3.3 cumulative GPA.

"We're thrilled to add Desmond to our program," Cunningham said. "We've made a pointed effort in the last two recruiting classes to upgrade our speed and athleticism, and Desmond certainly checks those boxes. He's all set to cap off a tremendous career for Coach Shines at Brew Tech this season, and I think that he is the best playmaker in the state. The icing on the cake for us is that Desmond has been a terrific student at a magnet school."

In his junior campaign, Williams led Brew Tech to an Area Championship averaging 23 points, seven rebounds and three steals per game. This season, in Brew Tech's first game Williams posted a triple double in 12 points, 11 rebounds and 10 assists.

In addition to being a star on Brew Tech's basketball team, Williams has made a name for himself in the AAU circuit as he has played with the Alabama Challenge and Team Carroll Premiere.

The Troy men's basketball team will be back in action on Sunday at 2 p.m. when it welcomes Central Arkansas for its third game in the Barclays Center Classic.
