Williams was named all-region as a senior and racked up over 100 career solo tackles in his varsity career. The 6-1 defender played mostly defensive end in high school but will move to linebacker for the Golden Flashes. He has helped lead a dominant Lowndes team that was a state-runner up as a junior and has risen to as high as #3 in the Georgia state rankings in 2020. During that 2019 season, Williams racked up 60 total tackles including 16.5 for loss and nine sacks.
