FAYETTEVILLE -- Former Springdale High wide receiver Damian Williams decided Wednesday to transfer from Arkansas, and coach Houston Nutt has agreed to grant the freshman his release.
Nutt said Williams' father, David, called Arkansas offensive coordinator Gus Malzahn on Wednesday afternoon to inform him that Damian had decided to transfer to another school. Nutt said he didn't know which school Williams was thinking about going to.
Meanwhile, freshman quarterback Mitch Mustain and tight end/wide receiver Ben Cleveland told Nutt in a team meeting Wednesday evening that they wanted to stay with the No. 12 Razorbacks.
Williams started five games this season, and he ranked second on the team with 235 yards on 19 catches. He also had two touchdowns.

" Wow. First Team Freshman All-SEC and Third Team Freshman All-American on a team with the two leading SEC rushers, and he still isn't happy? Just...wow. Talk about ego.
Hope he finds whatever it is he was looking for, but this is going to follow him the rest of his career. You think NFL scouts arn't going to be sure to make a note of this? Especially with all the crappy attitudes WRs seem to have in the NFL? Unless he turns into the next Larry Fitzgerald, this will cost him money. "

" I know all Razorback Fans thank Damian and appriciate his valuable yards and important catches. I look forward to watching him work on a good team and I will be rooting for him. This Arkansas fan thank you. Glad to hear Cleveland & Mustain are staying. This will put to bed speculation. Looking forward to firming up next years freshman. Go Hogs beat the Badgers. "

" A 10 win season. Houston Nutt made it sound like Arkansas played the toughest schedule in the world. Louisina Monroe, Utah something and the other team Southwest Misouri??? The SEC is usually a good conference but Mississippi State, Ole Miss and Vanderbilt wouldn't scare anyone from the Big 10. Next year's scheduled is just as week.If Arkansas wants to be one of the big boys then play more decent football teams in out of conference games. Next year they are playing Chattnooga. Is that a Jr. College. Hog Fans are just babies and can't be satisfied. Go get a pacifier because Alabama and Vanderbilt should have won and then we would be talking about 8 wins. You made a high school coach your offensive coordinator to get 4 his 4 players. I would have made him the receiver coach like all other schools. What happens when the Springdale four...I mean three... Will Arkansas auctioned the offensive coordinator's position for more recruits from the same school. "

" Too bad they don't have CARFAX.com for football programs! Damian let the Used Car Salesman Houston Nutt sell him and the other recruits on a high powered passing offense, turned out he got a 1970's run offense that with a great engine like DMAC will get you some yards and wins against marginal teams...But not a Natiaon Championship contender! Good Luck Damian and we know its not about 60 catches but about a change to improve yourself as a WR. Why does anyone go to college? To prepare for thier future!!! Good Luck and don't let anyone keep you from your dreams!!! "

Are the Springdale guys happier? I am sorry but I think football is a team game and if the staff thought early on they could throw more but turns out MM couldn't get that done yet and we decided McFadden was our ticket isn't that ok?

" I imagine Nutt's about ready to roll out the used car sales talk to get I imagine Nutt's about ready to roll out the used car sales talk to get Kodi Burns so that he can run "15-18" times a game as "the experts say". I feel sorry for the Springdale guys as well as any other freshman (particularly receivers) that heard deceptive stories about how the offense would change. From what I have heard about Mitch, he's poised, intelligent and a leader, and losing him would be disastrous. Make no mistake; the reason for our running game is McFadden, an incredible once in a lifetime player. He reminds me of the kid who takes over the sandlot football game and does everything to make his team win. Unfortunately, only a fool would think he'll be here past next year, and that would leave us with time wasted that could otherwise have been spent developing a guy with true potential into our next QB. Instead, we run the "wildcat", which has obviously been figured out by quality defenses (LSU, FL), leaving whoever the QB is, sitting on the bench 50% of the time. Why not develop the next QB into a passer, thus opening up the offense, throw D-MAC into the TB position, and watch him pick up 150 yards a game on 12 carries while we pass for 200+. "

" Williams recruitment was a big catch for the Razorbacks and their development into a consistent winner. I hate to see Williams leave but understand his frustation with the passing game. The hogs must be able to pass to win the big games even with McFadden and Jones.
I just wish Williams had more patience as I think it takes time to develop the offense. There have been times during the season when I sensed Malzahn was over ruled because of the playcalling. It also seemed as if the QB's often did not look beyond Monk for a passing target. "
DK wrote on Dec 13, 2006 11:23 PM:
" All valid concerns with the passing game aside, what bothers me the most is that he didn't even finish the season. People have sarcasticly implied that it is not selfish to want to develop your talents to the fullest...fine, but it is selfish to bail on your team before a bowl becuase you are not getting enough looks. Damian was a great down feild blocker, and he played hard every play. The team needed him against Wisconson, and he let them down. For what? It's not like he is going to transfer before the season is over anyway. It really saddens me to say this, as I was a huge Williams fan, but this really shows poor character. No two ways about it. "

" DK, Houston Nutt said in an article (NW Ark. Times, I believe) that he told all the freshmen in a team meeting this week that if they were thinking about transferring next year, to leave now before the bowl game (he told them "don't take advantage of me, just go"). Damian did not let his team down; he did what his coach told him to do. I think it is fair for Nutt to make that request, and I think it is fair for Damian to leave before the bowl game. "
DK wrote on Dec 13, 2006 11:48 PM:
" Its indicative of a larger problem, I will grant you that. However Nutt would not have issued that statement if Williams father (along with others) had not "expressed concerns" to Frank Broyles. My point is that all this should have taken place after the season, not during bowl prep. I am equally upset with the parents of the other two kids. This isn't pee-wee football, and I can't speak for others, but I am down right embarrased by some of the headlines floating around national news services right now. "Mother knows Best?" was on SI.com's front page. That is ridiculous. Once the national columnists, who by the way do not share the dislike for Houston that seems to permeate a large part of Arkansas, get ahold of this story I am afraid for the level of ridicule some of these parants are going to recieve. Not that they don't deserve it, but its still a black mark on the program, and that will always bother me. "

what is wrong with HDN and his program? why are top notch players getting run off?
how long does this last?
i hope this whole episode sends a message to broyles and the foundation that big changes are needed in our program and the smoke and mirrors is not going to work anymore.

" Sounds like all the Springdale guys including Malzahn got sold a bill of goods. If they had been told up front that the offense would be up the middle with 8 defensive players stacked on every play, they would have looked elsewhere. And when Broyles told the parents that Malzahn's offense wouldn't work in the SEC, why didn't they tell him that before they hred him? Maybe to get the players??? Not too ethical. "
DW wrote on Dec 14, 2006 2:22 AM:
" What were Damian's expectations? As a freshman, he was 2nd leading receiver. If he had caught more of the passes thrown right in his hands in closing games, passing game would have been able to better complement great running game. But, afterall, he was just a freshman. Now he loses a key sophomore season. Sorry to see him go, but we do need team players and we certainly do not need parents acting like "little league parents" Best wishes to Damain. I hear he is a fine young man, but this sounds more like a selfish T.O. "

I wish Damian good luck he will be a great player and the hogs didn't realize this only getting him the ball 19 times this season. Next to go hopefully Mustain to Oklahoma or North Carolina. Gus needs to leave, their is to much power issues there. You can't run it 40 times against the gators and expect to win. The Sprindale four should leave for a better place and to a team that will use them properly. What's wrong with this? Mitch goes 8 and 0 and Nutt benches him. Why? "

" My son had the pleasure of playing on the same football team with Damian, every year, since the third grade. I personally know the Williams' and their extended family.
To think that this decision has been made lightly, quickly, or without a lot of prayer and thought is absolutely wrong.
Damian made a decision last year that he thought was in his best interest. He has been proven wrong. He's only doing that again, and I personally hope he's right this time, no matter where he ends up playing.
Damian is one of the few kids that hever has had an ego. He's been a great ambassador of the Springdale High School football program, and will continue to be great example of a wonderful human being.
Damian, thanks for what you've done in the past. Good luck in the future. And please, don't worry about these comments from people that don't know you.
You're a great person, and the Hogs have really made a tremendous mistake by not doing everything in their power to keep you on the hill.
Good Luck. "
Just a fan wrote on Dec 14, 2006 10:54 AM:
" Bulldog Parent says that Arkansas did not do everything in their power to keep Damian. Should they have changed their entire offensive philosophy to keep him? I don’t think so. Anyway, I don’t blame Damian for his decision. I still think he should stay and the offensive will progress to more passing next year and the next. But again, it was his decision and if he believes it’s in his best interest to transfer, go for it. Just don’t say that the UA did not do everything possible to keep him. I my opinion, they also had a decision to make, and no one player is above the system.

Williams would not have seen the ball any more at Florida this year than what he saw here. I don't know how many times I watched the ball go right through his hands this year. Catch those balls and you will get looked at more. Monk is the only one who consistantly made catches that is why he got the looks. Urban won't even give Williams the time of day now. I just wish he would have given it another year because at this point he just looks like a quitter (twice now). I can't believe these guys as Freshman making such a big stink and having so much control. We gave away the last two games because of special teams and because Hillis was injured. Hillis is a huge part of our running game because of his blocking and he was missed big time. We win those two games and none of this is happening. Get over yourselves and be a part of the TEAM! "

" Whats the big deal about Williams transferring? When you're being recruited, you sign with the school that you think is going to be the best fit for YOU and YOUR career. If it doesn't turn out to be, then you transfer. You don't get picked in the draft based on which school you played for, so why do some of you arkansas "fans" think that
Williams is selfish for wanting to transfer to a school where he can prove how good he is or isn't. Of course everyone has there own agenda, but personally I think that William's life-changing decisions are more important than your college pickem. As far as coaching goes let Nutt and Malzahn run whatever offense they want. If you don't like that idea and are that unhappy with the coaches then do something drastic- stop going to the games, move and pay some other states taxes, stop buying hog parapharnelia, etc. Talking down on your team and coaches doesn't prove what a great fan you are and it really gets no point across. Leave the program and Williams alone. Good coaches and teams utilize the talent they have and don't base the whole team on one player. Obviously that's not quite the case with Arkansas at the moment, and that player wouldn't be Damian Williams anyways. But maybe if the breaking news was that Darren Macfadden wanted to transfer because he suddenly despised the color red I would understand what the big fuss is about "

If he does leave Arkansas will have another half and half season and UNFORTUNATELY the University seems to think that's just fine. One more year, if nobody else leaves, that what Nutt should have to prove himself - although I really think it's beyond that now. "

I don't dislink HN, however his time has come and gone. We should have grabbed Butch Davis when we had the chance. Broyles is loyal to Nutt, I appreciate that too.

As for our schedule-It could be stronger and probably should, but look at some of the other school's schedules next year. Ohio State plays two schools from the MAC and a D II school just like Arkansas. Also dont forget that many divisions-including the big 10-don't play a conference championship game. And for the fans of other schools that post here-you can pick out sub-par teams from any conference-so when you harp on Vandy, Bamma, or any other team with an off year it doesn't really mean anything. As for our offensive cord. I think he proved himself this year and I guess others do too judging by some of the awards and comments he has received from those who know a lot more about it than those in this group. As far as Williams goes-don't let the door hit you on the way out. If you don't want to play here...leave. For those who don't think he is talented you are wrong. Williams is very talented, but talent can be overshadowed by a poor attitude-ask TO. I encourage everyone to check facts before making off the wallcomments "

Your team is in the SEC and the past glories playing in the doormat filled Southwest conference are long over. A one loss regular season SEC record is a great accomplishment for any coach or program. Those of you who are still calling for Nutt's head on a platter need to look at your program starting with the `92 season and give the man his due. You should be ashamed.
As for Williams…I'm sure he comes from a good family like 'Okie Hog' says but that does not make his decision any less "ME FIRST" oriented. It’s a team sport and he just let his teammates down in the worse way. How many true freshmen receivers in the country touched the ball as much as he did? I cannot imagine any true college football fan wanting him to play for their team. This move puts him in the T. Owens' arena of being a bigger distraction than he is worth.
Good luck Damian and enjoy sitting a on your couch watching your former teammates beat up on Wisconsin on January 1st or maybe you should spend that time figuring out whose bench you will be riding next season.

Also thought he would be seeing more of what Mahlzan's offense was all about. Biggest problem was Casey Dick quit looking to any receiver but Monk. Anyone remember the fourth down and three, i know you do, ball snaps Dick looks to Monk ohhh hes covered panic ensues. Lay off Williams it is not his fault promises weren't kept. All SEC freshmanis good. 19 catches with 235 yards receiving arent that great of numbers. For his talent level he should have had twice that. "

Anything beyond that is gravey. Williams leaving because he's not getting the ball enough is a crock. He's leaving because D-Mc and Jones will see most of the touches next season, and they should, plus Monk is the only reliable receiver we have. Catch some more balls DWill and you become the go to receiver. Put them on the carpet, like you did all year, and watch Monk break receiving records. Good luck, but you'll not get a chance like this for a while. Transfer inside the SEC and be a third receiver for the top teams or go to the Big 12 and play poor mans football. Either way, your loss.
