After high school, Williams joined Florida after being heavily recruited.In 2021 as a freshman Williams saw action in just 2 games and played a total of 11 snaps at linebacker for the Gators. He recorded only 2 tackles, one assist, while adding 2 stops.
As a sophomore for the Gators in 2022 Williams played in 7 games and took part in 119 snaps for the Gators. He recorded only 8 tackles, 7 assists, while adding 4 stops.
In 2023 as a junior Williams played in 11 games and contributed on 455 snaps. He recorded 37 tackles, 15 assists while making 26 stops. In coverage Williams chalked up no pass breakups, no interceptions, and an unimpressive QB rating when targetted of 131.0. As a pass rusher, he produced 13 total pressures, which included 10 QB hurries, 2 QB hits, and one sack on the year.
Scouting Report: Strengths
- He’s rangy and instinctive when he’s looking into the backfield as a zone defender.
- Flashes strength to punch or stiff-arm to get off blocks. Stays with plays downfield, often making tackles even after being hit by multiple linemen.
- Has the combination of size and athleticism worthy of development.
- Reads the quarterback to anticipate and is a candidate to play outside.
- Williams will always try to plow into the largest piles and has a good knack of ending up glued to the ballcarrier.
- Looks the part. Good height and a thick, muscular build. Long arms. Good overall athleticism and straight-line speed.
Scouting Report: Weaknesses
- While Williams has the take-on skills to be a 4-3 Mike, he’s probably better as a Will so he can maximize his range and speed.
- As a pass rusher, he lacks the ideal length to consistently win off the edge, even if he manages to improve his at-times sloppy hand usage.
- Williams is in a hurry to get upfield but shows poor instincts when locating the ball against the run.
