Williams garners Academic All-District

PROVO, Utah – BYU softball player Taylei Williams was named to the 2020 CoSIDA Academic All-District Team Thursday.

Williams, who boasts a 3.93 GPA as an exercise and wellness major, was one of four outfielders named to the District 8 team which is compromised of schools from the seven western states as well as Canada.

A junior, Williams is in her second season with the Cougars after transferring from Southern Utah University following her freshman season. The Utah native started every game in the shortened 2020 season mostly in the outfield before taking over the shortstop position due to an injury of a teammate.

Following the 2020 season, Williams ranks in the BYU all-time career record books at No. 6 in sacrifice flies and No. 10 in stolen base percentage.

Williams will now be considered for an Academic All-America selection which will be announced from June 8-11.
