CONFIRMED: Texas Tech guard Darrion Williams has achieved a remarkable milestone in college basketball, securing both the prestigious 2025 Bob Cousy Award and the Midseason Wooden Award, highlighting his outstanding performance on the court.

His ability to score, rebound, facilitate, and defend has been pivotal in Texas Tech’s success—especially in clutch moments. With multiple 20‑point games, back‑to‑back double‑figure scoring streaks, and a knack for late‑game heroics, Williams has proven he can deliver under pressure .
In addition to his Big 12 honors, Williams has drawn national attention. He featured prominently in national postseason award lists, including the Wooden Award Top 15 ballot and Bob Cousy finalist considerations . Pundits are highlighting him as one of the most under-the-radar stars in college basketball.
