Early years

[edit]

Williams attended Central Gwinnett High School in Lawrenceville, Georgia. As a senior, he threw for over 3,000 yards with 28 touchdowns and four interceptions. He played in the 2018 Army All-American Bowl.[1] He committed to the University of Miami to play college football.[2][3]

College career

[edit]

In 2018, Williams only played in one game for Miami, but did not play significant minutes, and redshirted.[4] As a redshirt freshman in 2019, he was named the Hurricanes starting quarterback.[5][6][7] Against Louisville on November 9, 2019, he threw six touchdown passes.

In June 2020, Williams transferred to Garden City; however, fall junior college games were ultimately called off, due to the COVID-19 pandemic.[8][9]

On December 16, 2020, Williams committed to South Florida.[10]

On December 13, 2021, Williams committed to Alabama A&M.[11]

He retired from football in June 2022.[12]
