Mason Williams Chooses Kentucky Over Dad's JSU

Mason Williams, son of Jackson State coach and ex-NBA star Mo Williams, has committed to play basketball at the University of Kentucky, marking the first pledge for Mark Popes class of 2026. Williams, initially planning to join his fathers Tigers, switched his decision after an official visit to Lexington. His recruitment gained traction due to a successful senior year with Tennessee Collegiate on the Nike EYBL circuit, averaging 15.4 points and 4 assists per game. This commitment echoes his older brother Mikes decision last year, while Jackson State ended their season with a 12-21 record. Meanwhile, Florida A&M, led by NBA vet Charlie Ward, secured a victory over Jackson State in the SWAC tournament. Support the show:Get a discount at https://solipillow.com/discount/dnn.
