Williams was a 5-foot-10, 180-pound defensive back, who attended Tabor College. He was from Ewing, N.J.
Tabor College is a four-year liberal arts college in Hillsboro, Kansas.
“John was a hard-working and humble young man,” Grande said in an exclusive interview to The Capital Sports Report. “He took very well to coaching and always wanted to better himself as a player. He competed every day and was a great teammate. We lost a special individual. Our thoughts and prayers go out to the family of John.”

When the Flight returns to the CURE Insurance Arena on Friday, April 20th, they will do a tribute to Williams before the game. The team will also likely do a tribute to him on their helmets or jerseys for the rest of the season.
“The entire Jersey Flight organization wishes to express our collective, heartfelt, sympathy and sorrow to the Williams family at the loss of a highly-respected, outstanding, individual and dedicated professional athlete,” the team said in a statement.
