Crimson Cowboy

A rising star. A fall from grace. A changed man.

Sherman Williams fought his way through life to achieve a pinnacle of success that is only a dream for many. It wasn’t easy. Prichard, Alabama was a place where young men needed to choose—a life based on the merits of personal success? Or, one entrenched in a gang mentality?

Crimson Cowboy chronicles Sherman’s life from his early years to being recruited by the University of Alabama’s Crimson Tide, as well as the NFL’s Dallas Cowboys. Brutally honest, Sherman recounts wrong decisions. Drug sales. Prison. 

Now a motivational speaker and mentor for today’s youth, Sherman inspires kids of all ages to strive for success, teaching them how not to make poor decisions that will affect them for the rest of their lives.
