Mikey Williams prepares for his college debut with UCF

Mikey Williams was a Class of 2023 recruit and was set to play for Penny Hardaway's Memphis Tigers. However, he was arrested in April and charged for allegedly shooting at a car with people. He pleaded guilty in November and this August, Williams was sentenced to a year of probation with his felony charge being reduced to a misdemeanor.

Knights coach Johnny Dawkins shared during the Big 12 media day in October that, after conducting thorough due diligence, he chose to place his trust in Williams.

​

"He's been a joy to coach, and that's what it's about, giving young people second chances," Dawkins said (via ESPN). "And this young man is a teenager, and things happen, unfortunately, in our lives.

"And if we were in a world where no one got second chances, I don't know where any of us would be right now. And so I'm just really proud of our university for taking that type of stand."

Mikey Williams is currently sidelined with a foot injury but will be making a return to the UCF line-up soon.
