Jim Williams - Football - (1964-66)
Jim Williams rewrote the Western Carolina football record book in the mid-1960s with his strong and accurate passing arm. He transferred from Georgia and let the Catamounts to three consecutive non-losing seasons (1964-1966). He broke 28 WCU passing and total offense records in three seasons as he totaled 4,208 passing yards and threw 20 touchdown passes. He was the first WCU quarterback to ever gain All-American designation when he was honored by the NAIA in 1966. He led the Carolina's Conference in passing and total offense in 1965 and 1966 and was an All-Conference selection in both of those seasons.
