Texas A&M Football: 5 Reasons Trayveon Williams should return for senior season

2. Trayveon Williams has demanded respect, and he will finally get it.

For the last three years, Trayveon Williams has been one of the more explosive backs in the country. However, no one has given him the respect or the time of day because his team wasn’t at the top of the world so to speak. However, this season and specifically the Gator Bowl burst him onto the scene and showed the world who he is.

He finished with 236 yards and three touchdowns in the Gator Bowl, breaking the single-season Texas A&M rushing record with just a total of 1,760 yards this season to go along with 18 rushing touchdowns and one receiving. That record stood for three decades before Williams shattered it on New Year’s Eve.

1. A Heisman hopeful?

People will call me crazy for this one for sure as the Heisman has been a quarterbacks award for the last few years. However, Trayveon Williams. who has now demanded the respect of the college football world, could very easily move his way into that conversation in the upcoming year were he to stay for his senior season.

His freshman year, he was the first Aggie true freshman to break the 1,000-yard mark. His sophomore year, he shared the backfield with transfer Keith Ford so his numbers were a lot smaller than the year before though he nearly hit 800 yards on this season. His junior year? Like we said, 1,760 yards rushing which was good for seventh all-time in the SEC for a single season and top honors in the conference this season.

Simply put, his senior year could be even better and this running back from Houston could find his way to New York for the Heisman ceremony in 2019.
