Dee Williams named to SEC Community Service Team

Tennessee senior Dee Williams was named to the SEC Football Community Service Team on Wednesday.

The conference names a community service team in all of its 21 league-sponsored sports. The team recognizes a player from each school who gives back to their community through superior community service efforts.

Williams spent last summer working as a volunteer at Knoxville’s Emerald Academy, a K-8 charter college preparatory school, three to four times per week.

Williams mentored local youth and engaged in activities at the Emerald Academy’s Summer Institute program.

He also volunteered at the Knoxville Children’s Theatre as part of Tennessee’s Day of Service. Williams also made routine visits to East Tennessee Children’s Hospital and helped raise awareness for Second Harvest Food Bank through his social media platforms.
