Colorado State is the destination for Brent Williams, a highly recruited defensive end who originally signed with Washington but never played football for the Huskies, and reported.
Williams, a 6-foot-4, 205-pounder from Woodland Hills, Calif., never enrolled at Washington in 2010 after being asked to grayshirt and will be eligible to play this year as a freshman because he didn’t play football while enrolled at Los Angeles Valley Community College. Williams told that he plans to weigh 220 pounds in his first season at CSU. He has 4.6-second speed in the 40-yard dash.
Avs sign Porter, Wilson.
The Avalanche signed two veteran players Saturday, avoiding arbitration for both. Forward Kevin Porter and defenseman Ryan Wilson agreed to accept one-year contract offers from the Avs.
Porter, who scored 14 goals for Colorado last season, signed for $850,000. Wilson’s new contract is worth $1.28 million.
Both players filed for arbitration last week. The Avs have no other players who will seek arbitration. Adrian Dater, The Denver Post
