Duke football's Deion Williams to sing national anthem prior to Duke-Michigan State

Before the Blue Devils and Spartans showcase their skills on the hardwood Saturday night, Deion Williams will take his vocal talents to midcourt.

Williams will perform the national anthem prior to Saturday night's Final Four contest between Duke and Michigan State at Lucas Oil Stadium. The rising senior will sing as part of a student-athlete quartet—one from each of the four schools participating in Saturday's action.

Appearing in all 13 games for the Blue Devils in 2014, Williams collected eight tackles and has registered 29 total tackles in his first three years in Durham.

The quartet of student-athletes has a lot to live up to Saturday night. Last year's Final Four at AT&T Stadium in Arlington, Texas, featured the voices of well-renowned artists Chris Daughtry before the semifinal games and Darius Rucker before the national championship game.
