University of Colorado defensive line coach Nick Williams is leaving the program to take a job at Syracuse University.
Sports Illustrated‘s BuffsBeat reports Williams announced he was leaving Colorado on social media, writing “Blessed,” along with a picture of himself and the Syracuse S logo on a graphic that read “Defensive Ends,” suggesting that is the position he will coach for the Orange.
Williams, who spent one
year in Colorado with Sanders after leaving Texas A&M, was considered one of Colorado’s strongest recruiters. Before coaching at Texas A&M, Williams spent three seasons at the University of Georgia as a student and graduate assistant from 2018 to 2020, helping the Bulldogs to the No. 1 ranked recruiting classes in both 2018 and 2020.For Sanders, this is another departure from his program since its 4-8 season

However, once they got into Pac-12 play, Colorado struggled on offense and defense. Star quarterback Shedeur Sanders was sacked an alarming 52 times during the season.
“I am happy for Sean Lewis. I am happy for whomever he took with him. I am happy that he’s elevated,” Sanders said, according to SI. “Sean is a good guy. I have no quarrels with Coach Lewis. Coach Lewis did a phenomenal job in the time he was able to do his job. I am happy for him. I am happy for Nick [Williams] going to Louisville and prospering. I am happy for Brewster [Tim Brewster]. I’m happy for these guys.”
