Steven Williams, a sophomore from Houston, Texas, was named the Kansas Collegiate Athletic Conference (KCAC) Defensive Player of the Week.

Williams, a 6-foot-1, 220-lb. defensive end, was an instrumental part of the Swede defense that held Southwestern Assemblies of God University (Texas) to four field goals. Williams recorded eight tackles (seven solo), one sack, one pass break up, and 3.5 tackles for loss totaling 26 lost yards in the 13 to 12 victory at Waxahachie, Texas.

Head Football Coach Jamie Cruce says, "We are proud to have Steven represent Bethany College as the defensive player of the week. He played a pivotal role in our defensive performance this past weekend. We had several young men play very well and Steven represents their combined effort."

Williams is the son of Steven and Rozilyn Williams and is majoring in theatre and communication.

Each week conference sports information directors have the opportunity to nominate one defensive, one offensive, and one special teams player of the week. 

All KCAC Players of the Week will also be nominated for NAIA National Player of the Week honors.
