Jaylin Williams played a huge role in Arkansas’s success in 2021-22, developing into one of the best post players in the SEC and helping the Hogs reach the Elite Eight for the second year in a row.
As the Razorbacks prepare for the 2022-23 season, Williams is going to test the NBA Draft waters.
Per a release on Monday, Williams will enter his name in the NBA Draft pool while keeping his college eligibility intact:

Williams appeared in 37 games for the Hogs in 2021-22, starting 35 of them. He averaged 10.9 points, 9.8 rebounds, 2.6 assists, 1.3 steals and 1.1 blocks per contest.
It’s possible Williams will still return to school next year. We’ll have to wait and see what the NBA scouts and front offices tell him about his draft status.
