RICHMOND, Va. (September 23, 2020) – William & Mary redshirt junior Carl Fowler and Elon redshirt freshman Jabril Williams have been selected to serve as CAA Football’s representatives on the NCAA Football Student-Athlete Connection Group.

The Football Student-Athlete Connection Group was recently created by the NCAA Division I Football Oversight Committee. The goal of the group is to gather broad-based feedback from Division I football student-athletes on issues the Football Oversight Committee is reviewing. Among the priorities for the 2020-21 academic year are CoVID-19 health and safety measures, transfer policies, name, image and likeness topics and social justice issues.

Each Division I football conference has chosen two student-athlete representatives who will serve either one or two-year terms. The committee will meet quarterly to discuss issues and provide feedback to the Football Oversight Committee.

Fowler, a native of Durham, N.C., is a two-year starter and team captain for the William & Mary football team. He earned his Bachelor’s degree in Public Policy last May and is currently in his first year as a student at the William & Mary Law School.

Williams, a native of Statesville, N.C., appeared in three games for the Elon football team as a true freshman last season. He plans on majoring in Finance.
