Out of Charles Herbert Flowers, Williams is listed as measuring 6-6, 325 pounds. On the 247Sports composite rankings, Williams is rated 3-stars, the No. 36 Maryland recruit, No. 107 offensive tackle and No. 1,326 prospect overall nationally in the Class of 2024.

Williams committed to South Carolina on April 19, 2023 but opted to reopen his recruitment on May 23.

After further consideration I would like to announce that I will be decommiting from the University of South Carolina and re-opening my recruitment. Thank you to all the coaches at the University of South Carolina.
