Draft Profile: Bio
Cameron Williams established himself as a key contributor on Texas' offensive line, appearing in 29 games with eight starts across three seasons. The Duncanville, Texas native (DOB: 10/16/2003) earned SEC Co-Offensive Lineman of the Week honors in 2024 and was named to the Joe Moore Award midseason honor roll. Standing 6'5" and weighing 335 pounds, Williams helped anchor an offensive line that consistently produced both in the run and passing game.At Duncanville High School, Williams dominated as a four-time all-district honoree, helping his team reach the 6A Division 1 championship game twice. His high school offense averaged over 47 points per game his senior year, including multiple games with 300+ rushing yards. His development continued at Texas, where he transformed his body from 369 pounds to his current playing weight while maintaining his power.
In 2024, Williams has so far started eight games at right tackle, helping Texas accumulate impressive offensive numbers, including 545 yards against Colorado State and 614 yards against UTSA. He proved particularly effective in conference play, helping clear paths for both the ground game and passing attack against ranked opponents like Oklahoma and Georgia.
Scouting Report: Strengths
- Heavy hands with snap-back power on his punch, consistently jolts defenders off their rush path and maintains leverage through extended reps
- Plus arm length with natural hip torque allows him to steer edge rushers past the apex of the pocket and maintain the quarterback's platform
- Efficient mover in space who uncoils his hips when climbing, squares up and engages targets with proper leverage at the second level
- Dominant down blocker who creates vertical displacement, especially effective on gap-scheme runs behind his inside shoulder
- Strong anchor ability and natural bend allow him to absorb power rushes and reset his hands without giving ground
- Processes line games with efficiency, maintains proper posture and depth while working through exchanges with adjacent blocker
- Nasty play demeanor with consistent finish through the whistle, regularly looks to pancake defenders when uncovered
- Position versatility with enough lateral quickness for tackle and raw power traits to dominate inside at guard
Scouting Report: Weaknesses
- Kick slide lacks proper depth and angle, causing him to overset against wide-9 alignments and expose inside counter moves
- Inconsistent strike zone targeting leads to placement outside the framework, allowing defenders to work through his chest
- Limited change of direction skills in space affect ability to redirect and mirror on screens and outside zone concepts
- Base narrows when fatigued, causing leverage issues and compromising his ability to anchor late in drives
- Struggles to match acceleration of speed rushers off the edge, forcing him to bail early and expose inside rush lanes
Scouting Report: Summary
The offensive tackle market demands immediate contributors with multi-scheme versatility, and the Texas product's blend of power and natural movement skills translates well to the next level. The heavy hands and finishing ability will make him a force in the run game from day one, particularly in gap and power schemes where he can create vertical displacement.Right tackle appears to be his initial home in the NFL, though guard remains a viable fallback option if edge speed becomes problematic. The technical foundation is present, particularly in his anchor ability and power base, but developing consistency in pass sets will determine his ceiling as an edge protector.
A zone-heavy offense would be taking developmental reps away from his strengths as a power player. Teams running downhill concepts with heavy play-action will maximize his skill set early while allowing technical refinement in true pass sets. The tools are present for a long-term starter on the right side with proper coaching investment.
