Led by Williams, the Knights concluded the season with an overall record of 26-5, 14-0 in the Central California Athletic Alliance and winners of the Sac-Joaquin Section Division V championship.
He's joining a program which finished 12-4 in the Bay Valley League, 25-7 overall and earned a spot in the California Community College Athletic Association Final Four.
Merritt Coach Keenan McMiller spoke about Williams: "Kenyon is a respectful young man who is a solid student. Kenyon wants to get better, he is tough, physical and has a solid skill level. The key for us is to get him the best shape of his life, improve his motor and make him a consistent three- point shooter. I look forward to working with him this season."
So why the choice of Merritt? "I've had good communication with Coach McMiller over a couple of summers," Williams explained.
His best skills? "Passing the ball and scoring." But there are also the elements of command and control. "Growing up, I was always a great leader." In fact, before turning aside football for the roundball, Williams played quarterback.
Asked for some highlights moments from his prep career, he offered two: "in Arizona during a high school tournament, we were playing a San Diego team and up by two. It was crunch time. I had a fastbreak layup and decided to jump and dunk it. That got us going and we won by 15."
The other: "a triple overtime win over Stuart Hall 97-93." That was on March 17 as part of the Division V state championship playoffs and Williams totaled 24 points.
He is looking to major in kinesiology.
