In September 2026, Ebonie Williams joined the Howard University women's basketball team as general manager and chief of basketball operations. The GM position is the first in Howard women's basketball history.
Williams now brings her experience as a player, entrepreneur, nonprofit founder and program builder to Howard with a clear purpose: to build people; strengthen programs and create pathways for student-athletes to thrive on and beyond the court.
"It is such an honor to become a part of the Howard University women's basketball program," explained Williams. "It is a championship program and I hope to add to the brand and elevate the profile of the student-athletes and the program."
A Hagerstown, Maryland native, Williams established her basketball roots in the DMV at Notre Dame Academy, earning Washington Post All-Met recognition while helping lead the program to the No. 1 ranking in the DMV area. She went on to play at Seton Hall University, earning All-Big East honors before finishing her collegiate career at Washburn University, where she was a unanimous WBCA First Team All-American.
Williams is the founder of Eb Williams Player Development and Beyond the Arc Foundation, a nonprofit focused on removing financial barriers for youth in under-resourced communities.
Following college, she signed a professional contract in Iceland before transitioning into a career dedicated to developing players and building programs.
