Another Razorback staying in school

Late last week, quarterback Ryan Mallett announced that he was returning to Arkansas for at least one more season.
Today, Mallett will be pleased to learn that one of his offensive weapons will be doing the same.
According to a statement released by the school, tight end D.J. Williams has elected to return to the Razorbacks for his senior season.
"Taking into consideration the rewarding total experience I have had in Fayetteville, I feel there is no reason to cut this short," Williams said in the statement. "There are a lot of teammates and people I've grown close to and the ability to spend another year with them pursuing our goals is a big reason I want to come back.
"With Ryan (Mallett) and most of the key guys from last season returning I think this team understands what we can accomplish next season. That is something I'm excited about and something that means a lot to all of us. It is something our fans, who are the best in the nation, deserve to be a part of. The coaches here and the atmosphere we practice and compete in have helped me develop into more of a complete player.
"I understand the value of gaining another year of experience and the value of working towards finishing my degree."
In 2009, the junior was named second-team All-SEC by the league coaches. He played in all 13 games last year and had nine starts, catching 32 passes for 411 yards and three touchdowns.
