Indiana lands commitment from Montana State transfer cornerback Carson Williams
Indiana football continued its reload in the secondary on Sunday with the commitment of Montana State transfer cornerback Carson Williams.
Standing at 6-foot-1 and 165 pounds, Williams made his commitment to head coach Curt Cignetti and the Hoosiers after a weekend visit to Indiana. Williams has three years of eligibility remaining.

Williams, who hails from Houston, Texas, amassed 46 total tackles, eight pass breakups and 2.5 tackles for loss in 2025 with the Bobcats. He also forced and recovered a fumble this past season.
The 2025 season was Williams’ second at the college level after he redshirted in 2024 as a true freshman.
Entering this portal cycle, cornerback was a large question mark for the Hoosiers. D’Angelo Ponds could potentially leave early for the NFL Draft and depth corner Amariyun Knighten has already entered the portal, but outside of those two, Indiana returns everyone else at cornerback.
Williams now joins a 2026 cornerback room that features returners Jamari Sharpe, Ryland Gandy and Jaylen Bell, while Ponds’ decision on his future is expected to come following Indiana’s run in the College Football Playoff.
Williams is rated as the No. 795 overall transfer and the No. 91-ranked cornerback in the portal.

BUTTE — Butte’s annual Montana Folk Festival is drawing crowds to six stages set up across Uptown Butte, bringing art, food and music — along with some high temperatures.
WATCH: Heat can’t stop the Montana Folk Festival in Butte
Montana Folk Festival brings heat along with music, food, and art
Reggae artist Prezident Brown and his band iSound are among the performers taking the heat in stride. Brown said the dry mountain climate is nothing compared to what he’s used to back home.
“I can honestly say hundred degrees in Jamaica is a whole different story.”
When asked how he’s staying cool, Brown kept it simple.
“Yeah! I just do what I do. I drink water…orange juice!”
The Legendary Ingramettes, a gospel group from Virginia, are also finding Butte’s climate agreeable.
“We have a lot of humidity, and Butte does not. So, I’m enjoying the heat! The dry air!!”

With temperatures peaking around 90 degrees, food vendors are feeling the warmth more directly. Bozeman-based vendor Vickie Backus is working over a hot grill, serving pierogies, a food originating in Eastern Europe.
I ask her how she is keeping cool.
“You know? I’m not. I’m drinking lots of water. I have sunscreen on and I’m just leaning into it.”
Festival-goers wandering between the six stages are largely dressed for the heat — big hats, long sleeves, and sunglasses. At least one person is going barefoot —first-time festival attendee Sean Villere from Missoula says the pavement doesn’t phase him.

“It’s not that hot yet. I think it might get hotter, but it’s okay right now.”
Villere said he hasn’t worn shoes in a couple of years, including through two winters, and the callouses he’s built up protect his feet from the hot pavement.
Over the years, extreme weather has impacted festival attendance, but this year most people seem comfortable with the conditions.
