Williams entered Thursday ranked No. 15 in the On300.
A 6-foot-3, 207-pound dual-sport athlete, Williams is already on the 40 Acres and with Jim Schlossnagle’s baseball program during the spring.
During the 2024 season according to MaxPreps, Williams logged 15 total touchdowns including two kickoff returns. Seven were of the rushing variety and six were receiving scores. He is credited with 28 total tackles, two interceptions, two passes defended, a fumble recovery, and a forced fumble in eight games of action on his MaxPreps profile.
Here is On3 Director of Scouting and Ranking’s Charles Power’s detailed evaluation on Williams.
“Jumbo safety prospect with the size, athleticism and playmaking instincts to be a potential queen on the chessboard for defensive coordinators. Has linebacker size with the athleticism of a top defensive back. Measured in at 6-foot-3 ⅛, 206 pounds with 32.25-inch arms at the On3 Elite Series prior to his senior season. Registers as a top athlete in the combine setting. A true three-phase playmaker on Friday nights, lining up at safety, wide receiver and as a return man. An easy, fluid mover with a great top gear. Covers ground in a hurry. Shows outstanding range in coverage. Covers from hash to sideline with ease. Has high-level ball skills with the ability to track the football over his shoulder. Had four interceptions as a junior along with eight pass breakups. Capable of covering tight ends and receivers out of the slot. Eraser athleticism with his ability to run sideline-to-sideline in pursuit. Has the skill level to be a wide receiver prospect if he wanted. Scored 13 touchdowns on offense as a senior and ran back two kicks in eight games. A two-sport standout, as a talented baseball player who throws 94 MPH as a left-handed pitcher. Physicality is adequate, but not elite even though he showed progress on that front as a senior. Has more of a true free safety skill set despite his size. Missed a chunk of his senior season with a broken collarbone. Rare movement skills and size give him the upside to be a game-changing movable piece at the college and pro level.”

Inside Texas evaluation
At 6-foot-3 and around 200 pounds, Williams makes the field look a lot smaller. Despite playing in 5A Division 1 at Galveston Ball, he makes everyone else look smaller as well. Williams is a dominant athlete who can throw 94 mph as a left-handed pitcher in baseball or play catch coverage on a slot and house an interception return.

He’d fit for Texas at field safety where his range and tackling would shrink the wide side of the field down. Williams could easily drop down to linebacker level and be effective there but you also want him on the back end with the potential to hang back. He has the range to shrink deeper passing windows or run the alley in run support.
