Draft Profile: Bio
Williams spent his early career at Oklahoma, regarded as one of the Sooners' best corners when healthy but repeatedly slowed by injuries, most recently a shoulder injury that required season-ending surgery after six games in 2025.He transferred to Georgia for 2026 with a year of eligibility left and is healthy again, working back into the Bulldogs secondary as he re-establishes his stock.
At 5-11 and 187 pounds he is a technically sound, ball-aware corner with four interceptions across 30 career games at Oklahoma, and health, not talent, has been the story of his career.
Scouting Report: Strengths
- Reads the quarterback and drives on throws with clean zone technique
- Ball skills to find and play the football
- Leadership and pedigree as a former top-30 portal corner
- Toughness returning from injury
Scouting Report: Weaknesses
- Injury history is the headline concern
- 2025 cut short by season-ending shoulder surgery after six games
- Size on the shorter, lighter side
- Durability across a full season is unproven
- Man-coverage reps lag the zone instincts and need cleaning up
Scouting Report: Summary
Williams is an instinctive, technically sound corner with ball skills and leadership who was among Oklahoma's best when healthy and transferred to Georgia for a final year. However, injuries are the headline, the recent snap volume is limited, and the durability across a full season is unproven.Overall, Williams is a savvy cover corner whose technique and instincts are the draw, with health the deciding factor. He projects as a developmental nickel-or-boundary corner, with the ceiling of a rotational contributor if he stays healthy at Georgia and the floor of a depth corner and special-teamer.

*Percentile Ranking in Player's Position Group (NFL Combine Historical Data): This percentile reflects how a player's specific statistics rank
in comparison to historical performances at the NFL Combine, specifically within their position group. A higher percentile indicates a better performance.
For instance, being in the 90th percentile for a particular stat means the player outperformed 90% of their peers in that category.
*Similarity Percentage: This percentage is calculated based on a comprehensive analysis of various factors, including height, weight, 40-yard dash times, on-field performance statistics, and overall player rating. The analysis is conducted against our database of draft prospects from 2021 to 2023. This similarity score helps in evaluating how closely a current prospect aligns with past prospects. It is important to note, however, that this score reflects similarities based on college production and attributes, and does not account for eventual success or performance in the NFL.
