Spain: Keshawn Williams fuels Badalona Dracs’ semifinal ambitions

| American Football | 04/12/2025

Record-Scoring Machine
Keshawn Williams, the Badalona Dracs’ offensive dynamo, enters the LNFA semifinals against Osos Rivas as the league’s top touchdown producer with 17 scores in the 2024-2025 season. His 106 total points1 anchor a Dracs squad that dominated the Conferencia Este with a 7-1 record. While rushing yardage metrics aren’t publicly detailed, Williams’ knack for finding the end zone—whether through power runs or crafty red-zone execution—has defined Badalona’s title push.

Calatayud’s Strategic Vision
Head coach Óscar Calatayud has tailored the offense to maximize Williams’ scoring instincts. “Keshawn’s football IQ separates him,” Calatayud noted, emphasizing the RB’s role in balancing the Dracs’ attack. With playoff defenses likely keying on Williams, the coach has drilled multi-formation packages to exploit mismatches, including screen passes and goal-line wildcat looks.

Ending the Drought
The semifinal clash offers Williams a chance to reignite Badalona’s championship aspirations after a six-year title drought, with their last LNFA crown won in 2019. His 17-TD campaign already ranks among Spain’s most prolific, but lifting the trophy would cement his legacy.

“Stats don’t matter now—only wins,” Williams has stated. A victory would not only end the drought but also validate the Dracs’ resurgence under Calatayud’s leadership.

The Dracs and Osos Rivas face each other today, April  12. Watch the game live on AFI.
