Former Murray State signee Corneilous Williams commits to LSU
Former Murray State signee Corneilous Williams announced his commitment to LSU on Thursday, giving the Tigers another addition for Matt McMahon in the 2022 recruiting class.
“Blessed to say I’m committed to Louisiana State University to continue my academic and basketball career! I’d like to thank God, my family, and my coaches for all the support,” Corneilous Williams said in a tweet.
“Corneilous brings a paint presence to our program,” McMahon said when the forward signed with the Racers this fall. “With his length and athleticism, he is a rim protector on the defensive end. We like his ability to block and alter shots around the rim. Offensively, he runs the floor well and does an outstanding job of finishing plays in traffic.”
Corneilous Williams adds character, defensive presence
The 6-9 forward out of Combine Academy in Charlotte, N.C. was a key piece for one of the best post grad programs in the country.

“Corneilous is a high character young man who competes every day and I’ve always been impressed with the effort he gives,” said Combine Academy Coach Steve Jecewiz. “He’s good around the basket and I think his shooting range has advanced a lot in the past year. He dunks the ball a lot because, when he gets the ball close to rim, he can finish the play.
“Defensively, he’s one of the most talented players that I’ve coached. He’s going to make an immediate impact defensively for the Racers. Corneilous Williams is a winner, and I look forward to watching him have a great career at Murray State.”
