Larry Williams, a retired NFL offensive lineman, died on Oct. 16 at just 62-years-old. At the time of his death, Williams—who had served as the University of San Francisco’s athletic director since 2022—had been working out at the university’s War Memorial Gym in the Sobrato Center. A cause of death has not been provided. “Our prayers go out to Larry’s wife, Laura, their children, Kristin, Sean, Scott, Eric, and Louis, their families, and his grandchildren,” Salvador D. Aceves, University of San Francisco president, said in a release. Before his tenure at the school, Williams was in the NFL for five seasons from 1986-1992. He was initially drafted by the Browns, appearing in 42 games for them over two years, before an injury sidelined him for the 1989 and 1990 seasons. In 1991, he returned to the field, this time playing for the Saints. He finished his NFL career with the Patriots in 1992. Before his time in the NFL, he won two All-American honors in college while playing for the University of Notre Dame.
