Dam. Williams? Mississippi State quarterback's jersey abbreviation explained
Mississippi State QB Damian Williams took the field for the Bulldogs today with a unique abbreviation on his jersey — Dam. Williams.

A redshirt freshman offensive lineman has a very similar name:
The reason it's Dam. Williams? Redshirt freshman offensive lineman Darryl (Dar.) Williams.
