College Career
He began college career at Texas Tech, but transferred to the University of Alabama in 2001. Upon arriving at the "Capstone", Shaud had to sit out year to satisfy NCAA transfer rules. In 2002, due to an early season ending injury to starter Ahmaad Galloway, Williams was effective immediately. After taking his first carry from scrimmage against the University of Arkansas in 2002, Williams raced untouched 80 yards to the end zone. Shaud shared the running duties with Santonio Beard. The duo combined for a virtually unstoppable rushing attack engineered by head coach Dennis Franchione. The Crimson Tide finished the season with 10-3 without a bowl appearance due to being on probation. In 2003, Shaud Williams rushed for over 1,300 yards in his first full year as a starter. Shaud also played shortstop for the Crimson Tide on Alabama's baseball team.
A candid interview of Shaud by Brüno (played by Sacha Baron Cohen) was featured on Da Ali G Show, episode 6 of season 2 of the US series.

Famous quotes containing the words college and/or career:
“Face your own ambivalence about letting go and you will be better able to help you children cope with their own feelings. The insight you gain through your own acceptance of change will bolster your confidence and make you a stronger college parent. The confidence you develop will be evident to your child, who will be able to move away from you without fear.”
—Norman Goddam (20th century)
“Like the old soldier of the ballad, I now close my military career and just fade away, an old soldier who tried to do his duty as God gave him the light to see that duty. Goodbye.”
—Douglas MacArthur (1880–1964)
