Tyrone Williams (wide receiver)

Tyrone Williams (born March 26, 1970 in Halifax, Nova Scotia) is a retired gridiron football player. He is the first player to win a Vanier Cup championship in Canadian university football, a Super Bowl championship in the National Football League and a Grey Cup championship in the Canadian Football League (CFL).

University of Western Ontario

Williams was recruited by University of Western Ontario football coach Larry Haylor in 1988 from Halifax's Queen Elizabeth High School (Halifax, Nova Scotia), where he excelled at football, soccer and basketball. He made an immediate impact in his freshman season with the Mustangs, setting a team receiving record for most yards per catch with 21.9, and was named an Ontario Universities Athletic Association (OUAA) second-team all-star.

Williams was named an OUAA all-star again in 1989, a season in which the Mustangs won their fifth Vanier Cup title. Williams caught five passes for 157 yards and a touchdown to earn the Ted Morris Memorial Trophy as the game's most outstanding player as Western beat the Saskatchewan Huskies 35-10 to win the Canadian Interuniversity Athletic Union (CIAU) football championship. Williams earned All-Canadian honours in 1990 and again 1991, and graduated Western with a degree in economics, and school records for most receptions and most yards receiving. Those records stood for nearly two decades until they were surpassed by future CFL star Andy Fantuz.
