decided to give up football. Arizona redshirt freshman defensive tackle Sharif Williams announced today that he will give up football for medical reasons. At one time Williams was expected to be a big part of Arizona's defensive line, but then he injured his knee and it was so bad that he was forced to grey shirt and delay his enrollment a year. That injury was horrific and the fact that he even played football again after it is a testament to him. Once he got to Arizona he could just never quite find his footing with the program and conditioning became an issue. Overall it is just a disappointment that his talent will never get a chance to be realized.
That knee has been a major issue and he decided the time has come to move on.
