Brothers Kyle and Lewis Williams recently signed letters of intent to attend Knox College in Galesburg and play football for the Prairie Fire.
Kyle is a 6-foot tall, 270-pound offensive lineman. Lewis is a 6-foot-2, 195-pound lineman who is projected to be a potential tight end on the offensive or defensive end on the other side of the ball. The Massac County High School senior is the son of Lewis and Casey Williams.
Kyle was a three-year starter for the Patriots, while Lewis was a two-year starter.
Kyle has expressed an interest in business after graduation and plans to pursue a relatively advanced degree. Lewis is leaning toward a career in physical therapy.
A young man and his family have expressed their heartfelt gratitude to a man who played a big role in their twins' desire to play football and love of the game. Bob Towery coached the boys in the youth league effort. And let this be a lesson to all coaches. It's all about instilling and building awareness of your sport among the young people around you.
Knox College is a private, four-year liberal arts college founded in 1837 and opened to students in 1842. The school typically has 1,200 to 1,400 students. The school also has a rich history and quite a selective reputation. Knox College was one of the first schools to admit blacks and women. The university was the site of his fifth Lincoln-Douglas debate in 1858, and two years later, Lincoln was awarded Knox's first honorary degree, the Doctor of Laws degree. Interesting trivia — Everyone has heard of Notre Dame's Fighting Irish, but a little-known fact about Knox College's Prairie Fire is that the two teams faced each other twice on the field. In 1902, the Galesburg men's team defeated 12 Irish teams. 5. Knox plays at the NCAA D-3 level in the Midwest Conference.
