Keith Williams begins his first season as the receivers coach for the Green Wave in 2012.

William, 40, comes to Tulane after spending the last three seasons in the same capacity at Fresno State. During his time with the Bulldogs, he coached Jalen Sanders to first team All-Western Athletic Conference honors in 2011 and Jamel Hamler to second-team All-WAC honors in 2010 after Hamler led the team with 812 yards and six touchdowns. In 2009, Williams led the growth and development of Fresno State's outstanding senior corps, which was led by second-team All-WAC pick Seyi Ajirotutu.

Before that, Williams spent the 2008 season with the San Diego Chargers in a minority internship coaching position.

From 2005 to 2008, Williams coached at San Jose City College and led the Jaguar's offensive attack as both the offensive coordinator and wide receivers coach.

In 2001, Williams began a four-year stint as the receivers coach for San Jose State under head coach Fitz Hill, where he tutored four Spartans who ranked among the SJSU record books for most career receiving yards. Under Williams' tutelage, Edell Shepherd set the Spartan's single season record for receiving yards (1,500) and touchdowns (14), both in 2001.

Williams served as the receivers coach at Solano College in 2000.

As a collegian, Williams was a talented receiver at San Diego State from 1991-1993 and he also competed for the Aztecs' track and field team. He was a part of the Aztecs Freedom Bowl team in 1991.

Following his collegiate career, Williams signed a free agent contract with the Washington Redskins and later played professionally in both the World League of American Football and for the Saskatchewan Roughriders in the Canadian Football League.

A native of Lima, Ohio, Williams earned his bachelor's degree in public administration from San Diego State in 1996.

Williams and his wife, Ayana, have two children, including a son: Keyan and a daughter: Kaya.
