A highly regarded five-star prospect out of the illustrious American Heritage High School in Opa Locka, Florida, where he was the fourth Floridian prospect and the first safety during the 2021 recruiting class. Williams was pursued by most football powerhouse schools and decided to stay in Florida and play for the Hurricanes.
Williams massive frame, wingspan, and physical nature suggest he could thrive in the correct defensive sub-package system as a BIG DIME or BIG NICKLE Linebacker who is closer to the line of scrimmage. For a safety, his eyes were above-average in the box, and he displayed some ability to scrape and locate before delivering a huge hit. Still, he’s not the smoothest athlete in his transitions and his tackling was marginal. He’s a developmental defender who has a ton of upside, but some limiting factors that need to be corrected.
