Williams, a native of Dickinson, Texas, garnered freshman of the year honors from both the coaches and the media, and was named a finalist for the Kyle Macy National Freshman of the Year by College Insider.
 
"We are extremely excited to add Marcus and his family to our program," Williams said. "Marcus is a great example of excellence, leadership and selfless service. Dickinson High School has a track record of preparing high-level student-athletes. Marcus is a special talent, and we are thankful to have him and his family apart of our program."

His 14.8 points ranked eighth among freshmen in the nation while his 4.3 assists ranked fourth in the Mountain West.
