Stars on track as well with shot put of 56-6 3/4 and discus throw of 176-2 as sophomore. Well-rounded player with solid technique, length and body control. Relishes finishing blocks and smart player. Sinks hips and flexibility shines with ability to bend lower body and twist torso. In the run game, Williams shows speed in getting in front of runner when pulling. Can locate the defender and make block in space. Gets low, engages and continues to pump his legs to drive player back. Hand placement is consistently inside defender and is tough to disengage. In pass pro, Williams is ahead of most high school players. Pops up quickly and sits in base well. Shows kick step and is measured and assertive with initial punch. Foot speed is impressive. Moves laterally, can mirror and tough to beat with speed or inside move. Must continue to develop upper body strength." Set a new state record with that shot put, which neared 66 feet, 8 inches.

Held the Pennsylvania state record in track and field for shot put. Spent his entire early collegiate career with the Ohio State Buckeyes. During the 2023 and 2024 seasons in Columbus, he was teammates with Buffalo's young DBs, Jordan Hancock and with Davison Igbinosun during the 2023, 2024, and 2025 college football seasons.
