On this episode of Take Flight, we sit down with Williams men’s basketball guard Deion Wesson, a student-athlete whose impact at Williams Baptist University reaches far beyond the court.

Known for his confidence, tempo, and ability to deliver in big moments, Deion has emerged as one of the AMC’s most productive players this season. But what stands out just as clearly is the way he has embraced campus life — building relationships, engaging with younger fans, investing in his teammates, and growing as a student and leader.

Deion shares his journey from Jonesboro High School championships, through prep school and JUCO adversity, to finding renewed purpose at Williams. He reflects on what it means to compete with joy, to represent the university well, and to anchor his life and game in faith.

This conversation offers an honest look at development — not just as a scorer or defender, but as a young man learning how to play, lead, and live for something bigger.
