When asked what position he plays, Mykel Williams has to think for a second or two. "Defender," Williams said at the 2024 SEC Media Days. "Defender is the best way to describe what I do." The description fits, UGA coach Kirby Smart says because he can line up at EDGE or inside at defensive tackle or even drop back in coverage like a linebacker. “He’s really hard to block," Smart said ahead of the 2024 season. "He’s a dominant football player and he got better as the year went along last year. We need him to have a healthy camp to be as dominant as we think he can be.” The former five-star product of Columbus (Georgia) Hardaway was a second-team All-SEC pick in 2023 after racking up a team-leading 4.5 sacks. In 2022, he was a first-team Freshman All-American after racking up 31 quarterback hurries.

We’ve thought Mykel Williams bears a strong resemblance to a high school Chris Jones for much of the cycle. Williams checks in at 6-foot-5, 260 pounds with an arm length over 34 inches. Jones is around one inch taller than Williams, but their frames look similar at the same stage. Jones was around 6-foot-6, 255 pounds as an On3 Consensus five-star prospect in the 2013 cycle. We would not be surprised to see Williams top out around 300 pounds after a few years in Georgia’s strength program. Williams is more technically advanced than Jones at the same stage, but both were devastating pass rushers at the high school level while projecting as interior disruptors in college and the NFL. Williams averaged 1.3 sacks per game over the course of his high school career. Jones tallied 160 tackles and 14 sacks as a senior. Both also turned in dominant all-star performances – Williams was the best player all week at the All-American Bowl, while Jones was a top performer at the Alabama-Mississippi All-Star Classic and Under Armour All-America Game.
