Vitals: 6-3, 220, Jr., WR

Hometown: Frisco, Texas

High School: Wakeland

Looking back at 2017: Williams' role diminished from 2016 given he played primarily special teams after getting a start at linebacker as a redshirt sophomore. Still, even playing one fewer game, Williams made a career-high nine tackles and added another pass breakup to his career totals. Since, he's moved from linebacker to wide receiver during spring ball. It wasn't necessarily a surprise move given he was a two-time All-District selection in high school as both a linebacker and wide receiver.
