Darius Williams Darius Williams 6'2" | 215 lbs | QB/EDGE Hesperia | 2028 CA is a dynamic dual-threat quarterback with edge-rushing upside, standing at 6’2” and weighing 215-240 pounds, giving him a strong, athletic frame for both positions.

Areas for improvement: Refine footwork to reduce happy feet and build consistency against top defenses. Projection: Mid-major starter with Power 5 upside if he refines mechanics.
