On Wednesday, Charles Henderson High School football seniors Noah Greene, Nemo Williams and Bubba Williams signed their college letters-of-intent at a signing ceremony. 

Greene, who committed last week, signed with Tuskegee University. 

“Tuskegee was my very first offer I got when I came off my ACL tear after my sophomore season,” Greene said. “They showed that love and the coaches showed me love through it all. I went up there on my official visit and I loved the atmosphere. The coaches treat you well and care about you and make sure you succeed. That’s what I need in my surroundings if I’m going to succeed at the next level.”  

Greene earned All-Messenger honors at tight end this past season, catching 15 passes for 268 yards and a touchdown.

“I want to go up there and make a name for myself but I also want to show the coaches they didn’t make a mistake,” he continued. “I don’t ever want them to regret giving me a full ride. I want to show them I can be a big part of the team and I want to ball out for them and make everyone proud.”   

Bubba and Nemo Williams are twin brothers and are the third and fourth of the Williams brothers to play college football. Bubba Williams will join Greene at Tuskegee, while Nemo Williams will be playing at Alabama A&M. 

“The atmosphere was great and I think it’s a place I feel like I can make an impact, and somewhere I could get my foot in the door,” Bubba Williams said of signing with Tuskegee. “I feel like I fit in there, fit in well with the team.”

Having his high school teammate, Greene, at Tuskegee was also a bonus for Bubba Williams.

“It was someone I know there that I can be roommates with and have that familiarity there with me,” Bubba Williams said of Greene joining him at Tuskegee. 

Nemo Williams enjoyed his time visiting Alabama A&M but a familiar face on the campus also played a part in his decision. The twins’ older brother, Keith Williams, is an offensive lineman at Alabama A&M.

“I just really like the atmosphere up there and the campus is beautiful,” Nemo Williams said. “There’s plenty of stuff to do up there and the facilities are great. My brother being up there played a big part in my decision, too. Being able to play with him again is something that means a lot.” 

Nemo Williams and Bubba Williams earned All-Messenger honors two years in a row, at Pike County High School in 2023 and Charles Henderson High School this past season. Nemo Williams rushed for 600 yards and nine touchdowns on just 83 carries on offense, while tallying 65 tackles, seven tackles-for-loss, one sack, one forced fumble and a fumble recovery on defense. He will play linebacker at Alabama A&M. Bubba Williams earned All-Messenger honors on both the offensive and defensive lines this past season. Williams tallied 51 tackles, 14 tackles-for-loss and seven sacks in 2024 and will play on the defensive line at Tuskegee. 

Along with Keith Williams at Alabama A&M, the Williams twins’ oldest brother Robert Williams is also a linebacker at Miles College. Becoming the third and fourth Williams brothers to play college football means a lot to them.

“It makes our parents proud with all of us going to college and not having to pay much out of pocket,” Nemo Williams said. “It’s so great making our parents proud.” 

Bubba Williams echoed his brother’s sentiment.

“Making our parents proud means a lot and also seeing (Keith) being able to go and start as a freshman gives us motivation and energy to see that we can come and make an impact early,” he said. 

Nemo Williams said he plans to major in business management and make an impact on the football field. 

“I just want to get up there and make a big impact on the football field, while keeping my grades up and everything,” he said.

Bubba Williams said his goal is simply for college to get him ready for life outside of football.

“I just wanted to be able to get my foot in they door, so I’m able to get a degree outside of football to set me up for life in the future,” he emphasized.
