Draft Profile: Bio
Tyleik Williams from Unity Reed Lions High School was rated a 4-star recruit by ESPN and handed a 4-star grade by 247 Sports. After high school, Williams joined Ohio State after being heavily recruited.

In 2021 as a freshman Williams saw action in 12 games and played a total of 183 snaps for the Buckeyes. He recorded just 5 tackles, 5 assists, while adding 10 stops. As a pass rusher, he added 21 total pressures, which included 13 QB hurries, 2 QB hits, and 6 sacks on the season.

As a sophomore for the Buckeyes in 2022 Williams played in 12 games and took part in 223 snaps for the Buckeyes. He recorded 14 tackles, 5 assists, while adding 15 stops. As a pass rusher, he chalked up 8 total pressures, and 6 QB hurries, one QB hit, and one sack during the year.

In 2023 as a junior Williams played in 12 games and contributed on 586 snaps. He recorded 31 tackles, 20 assists while making 31 stops. As a pass rusher, he produced 21 total pressures, which included 16 QB hurries, 3 QB hits, and 2 sacks on the year.
Scouting Report: Strengths
  • Williams is good at exploiting gaps with his initial burst and agile feet, but he could improve in one-on-one situations to be more effective in the pass rush.
  • Made Bruce Feldman's Freak's List - ranked #66. He wrote "6-6, 272-pound Zach Harrison at the top of that list, having once run a 10.7 100 meters, but Williams is one to really keep an eye on. His burst gets him on the list this year. His 10-yard split of 1.62 is an amazing time for a 300-plus pounder."
  • He has the strong core and powerful hands to shed blockers, and Williams shows excellent instincts with the ability to quickly locate the ball.
  • He shows good initial burst, staying low and capable of penetrating through gaps early in the down.
  • Flashes enough quickness off the snap to threaten gaps at three-technique, especially when slanting.
  • He’s quick to react and locate the ball, and he shows enough speed to succeed in backside pursuit. Williams plays with excellent balance and a strong, flexible core, rarely ending up on the ground.
Scouting Report: Weaknesses
  • His spin move is a bit slow and mechanical. He’s susceptible to cut blocks, a tactic that was used on him often.
  • As a pass rusher, his hand use is inconsistent. He’s short on counter moves in the pass rush.
  • Despite showing initial burst and agility, Williams struggles with sudden movements and may find it challenging to create significant impact during one-on-one pass rushes.

*Percentile Ranking in Player's Position Group (NFL Combine Historical Data): This percentile reflects how a player's specific statistics rank in comparison to historical performances at the NFL Combine, specifically within their position group. A higher percentile indicates a better performance. For instance, being in the 90th percentile for a particular stat means the player outperformed 90% of their peers in that category.

*Similarity Percentage: This percentage is calculated based on a comprehensive analysis of various factors, including height, weight, 40-yard dash times, on-field performance statistics, and overall player rating. The analysis is conducted against our database of draft prospects from 2021 to 2023. This similarity score helps in evaluating how closely a current prospect aligns with past prospects. It is important to note, however, that this score reflects similarities based on college production and attributes, and does not account for eventual success or performance in the NFL.
