There aren’t many true “just put him out there and let him find it” guys, but this is one of them. The ATH tag actually means something here because the production shows up everywhere — real route running on offense, and enough range that he can erase mistakes on the back end. What stood out to me was how early he gets himself in position. He’s not just reacting late and relying on athleticism to clean it up; he’s reading it, getting a jump, and that’s why the interceptions keep coming in. The length helps, the stride eats up ground, and when he trusts what he’s seeing he closes way faster than it looks at first glance. He’ll still get caught peeking every now and then and that’s where you’ll see a rep get a little loose, but he has the recovery speed to bail himself out more often than not. Offensively, he’s not just filling space either — he can actually give you something with the ball. The best part is you don’t have to force a position on him right now. Safety makes sense, sure, but you can see why someone would try him at receiver too. That’s kind of the point with him — you’re not trying to limit it yet, you’re trying to see how much he can handle.

Instinctive, ball-hawking safety who consistently finds himself around the football, finishing the season with seven interceptions. Displays excellent eye discipline and anticipation in coverage, reading the quarterback well and breaking quickly on throws. Shows good range from the deep middle and closes ground efficiently, allowing him to impact the passing game in both single-high and split-safety looks. Comfortable rolling down into the box or matching up with receivers underneath, showing versatility within the secondary. Aggressive and reliable in run support, taking proper angles and finishing tackles in space. Ball skills clearly stand out on film, with the ability to track, high-point, and secure turnovers. Plus positional versatility to be an impact player on both sides of the ball. Holds an offer from Northern Arizona and is the 4^th ranked DB in the 2027 class.

Williams is the perfect example of how offensive traits can turn into defensive nightmares, because everything that makes him a good receiver — tracking the ball naturally, soft hands, comfort attacking it in the air — makes him that much more dangerous when he’s the one reading the quarterback instead of running the route. That’s why seven interceptions isn’t just a number here, it’s a statement: he doesn’t “fall into picks,” he finds them, and he finishes them like a guy who’s used to catching in traffic. The athleticism pops constantly, but what really separates him is the instincts — you can tell he understands route concepts, understands what the QB wants, and plays with enough patience to let the mistake happen before he takes it away. He’s an incredibly smart defender who trusts his instincts, and is right to do so. With another year of high school ball left to keep adding reps, he’s going to be a real problem at the next level.
