Boston College men's basketball has added a significant transfer piece to its roster, signing former Montana guard Money Williams. Williams, a two-time All-Big Sky selection, averaged 20.6 points per game last season and led the conference in scoring. The 6-foot-4 lefty shooter will provide an immediate scoring boost for the Eagles as they look to rebuild under new head coach Luke Murray.

Why it matters

Boston College is in the early stages of a roster overhaul, with Williams and freshman Zak Smrekar being the only new additions so far. Williams' scoring prowess and experience will be crucial as the Eagles aim to improve on a disappointing 2025-26 campaign.

The details

Williams, an Oakland, California native, led the Big Sky Conference in scoring last season at 20.6 points per game. He also averaged 4.3 rebounds and 4.7 assists, and had seven games with 30 or more points, including a 40-point performance. Williams became the first Montana player since 2008-09 to lead the league in scoring, and his 699 total points ranked third-most in a single season in program history.

  • In the 2026 Big Sky Tournament, Williams averaged 30.3 PPG and was named MVP, despite his team losing.
  • As a sophomore in 2024-25, Williams earned Big Sky Conference Top Reserve honors, including Second Team All-Big Sky Conference and Big Sky Conference All-Tournament Team selections.
  • This past winter, he was a Unanimous First Team All-Big Sky selection.
