Williams was the defensive ends coach in Boulder this year. Before heading to Colorado, Williams was an assistant at Georgia from 2018-2020 and at Texas A&M from 2021-2022.
Colorado had 27 sacks this season, which ranked 6th in the Pac-12.
Williams recruited top prospects in the 2024 class like 4-star athlete Kamron Mikell and 4-star defensive lineman Brandon Davis-Swain and convinced them to verbally commit to the Buffaloes.
Having a recruiter like Williams on staff will be a plus for Louisville. The Cardinals reached the ACC title game and will be facing USC in the Holiday Bowl.
Year one under Sanders didn’t end well. After a 3-0 start, Colorado won 1 more game this season to end the year at 4-8.
