A HS track standout from Baton Rouge, Louisiana, Williams spent his first three collegiate seasons with the Baylor Bears, showcasing elite potential with a top-tier Pro Football Focus (PFF) pass coverage grade as a true freshman in 2023. After starting seven games at nickel corner in 2024, a lingering meniscus injury severely hampered his production, limiting him to just five plays and a single tackle in 2025 before he elected to take a medical redshirt. He's now ready to go with Oregon, and expected to compete for Oregon’s starting nickel/STAR safety role.
