Milton Williams made history.
No he isn’t the first Louisiana Tech player to ever win a Super Bowl title, but he did join an elite fraternity of professionals Sunday night when he helped lead the Philadelphia Eagles to a 40-22 victory over Kansas City in Super Bowl LIX in New Orleans.
Williams also became the 15th former Bulldog to earn the bling bling, joining the likes of Ryan Allen (3x), Larry Anderson (2x), Chris Boniol, Terry Bradshaw (4x), Fred Dean (2 time), Doug Evans, David Lee, Johnny Robinson, Artie Smith, D’Anthony Smith, L’Jarius Sneed (2x), Matt Stover (2x), Grant Williams and Tramon Williams.
And Milton didn’t just win one, he had a tremendous impact on the Eagles making easy work of the two-time defending Super Bowl champion Chiefs.
Williams, who lettered for the Bulldogs from 2018 through 2020, recorded a season-high four tackles, three tackles for loss, two sacks, one fumble recovery and one QB hurry for an Eagles defense that held Kansas City scoreless until late in the third quarter when the game was already out of reach.
The Crowley, Texas, native finished the regular season with 24 tackles, including five sacks.
In addition to 15 former Tech players winning Super Bowls, three former Bulldogs (Cloyce Box, Caleb Martin, Leo Sanford) won NFL Championships prior to the Super Bowl existing.
