Loyola basketball adds guard Kody Williams

Guard Kody Williams will be joining the Loyola basketball team for the 2012-13 season, the team announced Wednesday.

Williams, a 6-foot-2, 190-pound combo guard, spent last season at Tallahassee Community College, where he averaged 4.6 points and 4.1 assists per game. He spent his freshman year at the University of Southern Mississippi.

A Florida high school star, Williams was born in Chicago and is the cousin of former DePaul standout Mark Aguirre.

“He can play the one, two or three spots and brings collegiate experience to our program having been at both Southern Mississippi and Tallahassee Community College,” Loyola coach Porter Moser said. “Kody is a long, athletic player who can be a great defensive stopper for us.”
