  Williams is one of several Deacons who can improve their standing this season in the eyes of NFL scouts. In the last seven games of 2019, Williams had 60 tackles, 2 1/2 sacks and 5 1/2 tackles for loss. Williams entered Wake Forest with Basham and heads into his fifth season. But this is the first season Williams enters as a starter, which gives you an idea of his growth for the past four years. Williams came to Wake Forest as a high school running back and was moved to defense, where he initially was a rover in Mike Elko's defense. As Elko moved on and was replaced by Jay Sawvel, who then was replaced by Lyle Hemphill, Williams has had to adjust along the way - and it wasn't until the second half of last season that he shined for an extended period of time.

In the last seven games of 2019, Williams had 60 tackles, 2 1/2 sacks and 5 1/2 tackles for loss. He took over at BUCK linebacker after Justin Strnad's season-ending injury and proved to be more than a capable replacement - now he gets to display his aptitude for a full season. Assistant coach for defense Dave Cohen mentioned last week that the Deacons have been lining Williams up in the same ways that Strnad was used last season as a third-down pass-rusher - an aspect that helps his preparation for an NFL opportunity. - Winston Salem Journal

  Louisiana-Monroe head football coach Matt Viator has signed a two-year contract extension through the 2022 season, according to an announcement made Thursday by athletic director Scott McDonald. Viator's contract extension was approved by the Board of Supervisors for the University of Louisiana System earlier Thursday. All other components of the contract remain the same. Per USA TODAY, Viator receives $390,000 in base salary with the potential to earn $50,000 in bonuses. His buyout is $175,000. Since joining the Sun Belt Conference in 2001, Matt Viator is the first ULM coach to post a .500 record in league games in three-straight seasons. In 2019, the Warhawks finished 5-7 and fell one win shy of becoming bowl eligible for the second year in a row. - The News-Star

  Straughter pushed himself like never before during the 2019 offseason and it showed on the field. The homegrown star cornerback intercepted five passes, which tied for the Sun Belt lead and eighth in FBS, during an All-American junior year - the first on defense for ULM head coach Matt Viator: "There were times I thought we had the facility locked up, but Corey found a way to get in. I'm just proud of how hard he's worked." Pressed into duty from the day he arrived on campus, Straughter played both corner positions before finding a home at the field corner. His ball skills were apparent on the wide side of the field and he led the conference with 15 passes defended. Straughter made interceptions in three consecutive games, which included a pick-six at Florida State, and iced a win at Texas State with a late-game takeaway. - The News-Star
