Williams joins the Sooners following two impressive seasons at TCU where he established himself as one of the the top interior defensive linemen in the entire country, excelling at a young age and putting his consistency on display for two straight seasons.

He made his college football debut at the age of 17, earning his spot on TCU’s defensive line as a true freshman where he started 15 games and recorded 27 tackles, 1.5 sacks, and 4.5 tackles for loss, and a forced fumble. Playing a major role in the Horned Frogs journey to the national championship game while also being named a Freshman All-American by two publications and an Honorable-Mention for Big 12 Defensive Freshman of the Year.

This past season Williams upped his production and accolades, posting 33 tackles, 5.0 tackles for loss, and 3.0 sacks along with earning All-Big 12 Honorable-Mention and Big 12 Defensive Lineman of the Year honors before hitting the portal.

Williams helps the Sooners address a high position of need as they now bolster up their defensive line in a major way. Joining forces with two promising true freshman David Stone and Jayden Jackson on the defensive line as a 6-foot-2, 320 pound tackle with 27 consecutive starts under his belt. As head coach Brent Venables continues to make defense the priority as the Sooners join the SEC this upcoming season.
