Who is this 7-foot, 360-pound guy who drops threes like Steph Curry? Let's dive deep and get to know more about Big Cozy. Who is Connor Williams? Connor Williams, also known as Big Cozy, is an imposing figure in every sense of the term. He's definitely bigger than you, and he's probably better than you too. Williams is a force to be reckoned with on the field. Currently playing as a sophomore for St. John Fisher College, a Division III college basketball team based in Rochester, New York, Williams is consistently dominating his opponents with his size and superior passing abilities. It is safe to say that if you're going up against Williams, you'd better bring your A-game. It should come as no surprise that Big Cozy was a talented two-sport athlete in high school, participating in both football and basketball. He excelled on the football field as a lineman, towering over his opponents and making them look like mere children in comparison. Despite his success in football, Williams ultimately chose to pursue D3 basketball in college rather than D2 football. Over the course of three years, he was a dedicated member of the varsity football program and a four-season participant on the varsity basketball squad. Williams' impressive athletic abilities earned him the title of Monroe County D1 Player of the Year in 2021 and helped lead his teams to victory in two Monroe County Division I League championships. In addition, he was also honored with the All-Greater Rochester selection in both 2020 and 2021. Despite having a natural aptitude for football, there was something about basketball that just seemed to run in his veins. When the opportunity presented itself for him to play basketball at the collegiate level, he knew he had to take it. And it turns out, he was quite skilled on the court. He had a surprising amount of agility and a smooth shot around the rim, but what really set him apart was his exceptional ability to pass the ball. It is rare to see a man of his size, who used to play on the offensive line for a football team, excel in basketball, but that's exactly what he did. In 2021, Williams had the opportunity to make his national television debut while playing against the Buffalo team. College basketball fans all over the United States were amazed by Williams' impressive physical abilities, considering his towering height and impressive size. Although the Cardinals were ultimately defeated by the Division I University of Buffalo, Williams' performance still managed to draw praise and attention on social media. In particular, a single redemption play that he executed during the game captured the hearts of American public and became a viral moment, showcasing his moment of greatness. As the game progressed and we reached the middle of the second quarter, Williams was tasked with inbounding the ball from the baseline. As he brought the ball up the court, he followed his point guard's lead, but as he reached the far end of the logo, disaster struck. It appeared that Williams accidentally stepped on his opponent's foot and as a result, he lost his balance and fell to the ground. Not everyone with his size will rise after that fall, but despite rolling his ankle in the process of the fall like a true warrior, the youngster got up to deliver a beautiful pass while invisible discomfort. He made his way to the top of the arc and had the ball passed in his direction that even Nikola Jokic would be proud of. Despite experiencing significant discomfort while playing, Williams managed to deliver an exceptional pass over the defense to his teammate, Daniel Cook. Cook successfully caught the ball while running, took a few steps, and powerfully dunked the ball in the hoop, earning an additional foul in the process. The entire sequence, including Williams' fall, recovery, and precise pass, as well as Cook's impressive dunk, was executed flawlessly. In that game against Buffalo, he had two assists and no turnovers in his four minutes. Throughout his freshman year, Big Cozy consistently contributed to his team's success, averaging 2.8 points and 2.4 rebounds per game while playing an average of 6.7 minutes per game. Big Cozy's Return Now, as a sophomore center for Division III St. John's Fisher University, he's back in action again this season, but with his newfound fame, he's been dubbed the nickname Big Cozy.

As you can recall, this is the team that had previously brought him into the national spotlight in 2021, making it a particularly significant matchup for him. And boy, he made a name for himself yet again. Despite his impressive size, Williams has a hidden talent for sinking three-point shots with the same ease as basketball superstar Stephen Curry. Take a moment to observe the incredible range displayed by Big Cozy. Not only does he have impressive physical abilities, but he also possesses a high level of intelligence and strategy on the court. With quick movements and precise aim, he deftly maneuvers the ball and resets his position for a perfect shot. And when he finally releases the ball, it soars through the air and lands with a satisfying splash in the net.

It's not that I'm trying to disrespect Shaquille O'Neal or anything, but let's be real here. We all know that he wasn't exactly known for his three-ball shooting abilities. I mean, come on. There's no way he could have hit a shot like that. Even though the Cardinals were heavily defeated by the Bulls with a final score of 91-53, everyone was excited to see Big Cozy back on the court.
