His commitment to traveling across the country to gain exposure in long/deep snapping camps helped Williford receive interest from college football coaches.

Williford's social media plan and strategy in marketing himself and his brand played a vital role in this process.

It was a draining, disappointing, and a learning process which is proof we all end up where we belong IF the commitment and work is put forth.

In segment two, Thomas delivered a perspective about the new SEC on the horizon for what to expect for the Texas and Oklahoma fan bases.
