BUTTE — Dion Williams Jr. enjoyed his college years at Montana Tech so much that he decided to make the Mining City home.
The Fairfield, California native starred as a wide receiver at Tech from 2014-2018 and held four individual program records at the time of his graduation. Two of those records — career receptions (203) and receptions in a season (77) — still stand.
The Diggers won a pair of Frontier Conference championships (2015 and 2016) and made two NAIA playoff appearances during Williams’ time in Butte.
With his playing days behind him, Williams turned his attention to another passion of his — having an impact on the next generation of athletes. After spending about two years back in California, Williams returned to Butte in the summer of 2022, primed for his next journey.
