IRMO – Dutch Fork High School senior wide receiver Antonio Williams is one of 17 athletes who has been nominated for the 2021 Richland County High School Football Player of the Year award.

This prestigious award is presented annually to the top varsity high school senior football player in Richland County who demonstrates great character, sharp intellect, community involvement, as well as academic and athletic excellence.
