Kevon Williams (born June 7, 1991) is an American rugby player who plays for the United States national rugby sevens team on the World Rugby Sevens Series.
Williams is originally from Houston, Texas. He attended Westbury High School and college at the New Mexico Highlands. He also played American football as a wide receiver with the New Mexico Highlands Cowboys until 2012.[1] He picked up rugby in 2013. His strong rugby play with New Mexico earned him the 2014 College Sevens Player of the Year award by Rugby Today magazine, in large part due to his play at the 2014 NSCRO national championship.[1] Williams helped New Mexico win two straight NSCRO 7s titles in 2015 and 2016.[2]
