The Northwest Arkansas Touchdown Club has changed the name of its player of the week award to honor Kyler Williams, who died in a car accident Sept. 24.

Williams was a senior wide receiver at Springdale High School in Springdale, Arkansas. At his weekly Monday news conference two days following the teen’s death, Razorbacks coach Bret Bielema got emotional while recalling a picture he took with Williams a few weeks earlier.
