Alex Williams, a two-time captain and graduate of Oregon State University, is in his first season as Army's assistant golf coach.

A four-year member of the Beavers' golf team, Williams was a three-time Pac-10 All Academic Team selection, an Academic All-American, the Pac-10 Men's Golf Scholar Athlete of the Year and a seven-time selection to the OSU Honor Roll before earning his degree in history.

An active member of the Student Athletic Advisory Committee at Oregon State, Williams won the Northwest Winter Shootout at Langdon Farms Golf Course in 2008 with a one-under-par 142, shot a six-under 66 at the Hawaii-Hilo Intercollegiate in 2006 - one of three 66s -- and a seven-under-par 209 at the Pacific Coast Intercollegiate.

"Alex was the perfect choice to be our assistant coach," said Watts. "I got to know this young man very well as his coach for four years at Oregon State. His passion for the game, skills as a teacher and abilities as a recruiter will help to bring us closer to our goals of winning tournaments and the Patriot League and competing in NCAA postseason events."

Following his graduation from Oregon State, Williams served as a volunteer assistant golf coach at Skyview High School in Vancouver, Wash., and traveled and taught English as a foreign language in Peru for seven months.

A camp counselor for OSU Men's Golf Camp, Williams will have a diverse role with the Army program. In addition to individual work with players, he will have a large role in recruiting and on-course management.

"I am very excited for this opportunity," said Williams' "Coaching golf at the collegiate level is a dream job for me and the opportunity to learn from coach Watts and work with the great young men at West Point makes it even better. I'm looking forward to working with the guys and helping them accomplish their goals."

Williams resides in Cornwall-on-Hudson.
