Receiver Kristoff Williams done playing football at WSU

Mike Leach confirmed after Tuesday's practice that receiver Kristoff Williams is off the Washington State roster.

We have more on Williams' departure after the jump.

Williams hasn't played for the Cougars since the second game of the season and has only been at practice sporadically. He was listed in the team's depth chart until a new one was released today in which he was missing. Coach Mike Leach confirmed after practice that he is no longer on the roster.

The receiver started at the Z position for the Cougars and was also the primary kickoff returner for the first two games. He finishes his career having made five starts and catching 84 passes for 852 yards and six touchdowns in 35 games.

Williams chose to attend WSU over reported scholarship offers from Army, Fresno State, Nevada and UNLV. He was named Pac-12 All-Academic honorable mention as a sophomore and made First Team as a junior. Last season he was also named WSU's Special Teams MVP.

He has been working toward attending law school in the future and wants to be a judge someday.
