Shelby defensive end Tyson Williams features as final Big 22 player

Shelby defensive end Tyson Williams concludes the Big 22 list of high school players to watch in the Class of 2026. The 6-foot-5, 255-pound junior maintains a balanced schedule between high-intensity athletic recruitment and fishing to manage the pressures of his status. As one of the country's most sought-after recruits, Williams notes the necessity of finding moments to disconnect from the sport while navigating the complexities of his collegiate prospects. Channel 9 organizers have now opened the voting process for the five finalists selected from the Big 22 profiles. Fans may cast votes for the eventual selection through October 1. The initiative aims to highlight top young regional athletes throughout the high school football season.
