Ryan defensive end Josh Williams was released from jail on Tuesday after being arrested on a robbery charge. Williams is accused of robbing a Denton man of $900.

The man told police that Williams approached him while he was sitting in his truck and counting his payroll check on Friday. The two talked briefly before Williams reached into the truck, punched him in the face and ran off with the cash, according to the police report.

Williams signed a national letter of intent in February to play football at Nebraska next year. He was Ryan’s leader on defense and was ranked in The Dallas Morning News’ Area Top 100.
