Mizzou Lands Oregon Defensive Lineman Transfer Kristian Williams

In a surprise commitment on this Tuesday evening without even a bat signal alert from Drinkwitz, Missouri has added some experience and depth from the Power Five level on the defensive line – which of course is always a plus.

Oregon defensive tackle transfer Kristian Williams, who was recently on an official visit to Missouri last weekend, has announced his commitment to Mizzou via Twitter.

Williams, a Memphis, Tennessee native — was a former three-star recruit in the 2019 recruiting class and ranked as the No. 27 defensive tackle in the country.

In three seasons at Oregon, Williams didn’t rack up a whole lot of stats, but he by far had his most productive year last season with 16 total tackles, including two tackles in the Alamo Bowl against Oklahoma.
