Strengths

Prototype size and frame. Very twitchy for a bigger player. Explosive skillset at his size. Great speed. Excellent acceleration at his size. Deceptive to separate and a big target on slants. Impressive quickness breaking off out routes. Quick to stop and turn on hitches. Fluid on quick outs. Very quick feet as a route runner at his size in general. Shows he can sink into deeper in-breaking routes. Impressive footwork to run more complex intermediate routes. Very good fluidity on comeback routes. Quick and deceptive on intermediate post routes. Long strides to get on top of cornerbacks on vertical routes. Fluid to cross over as a route runner on vertical stems. Very good stutter-and-go route. Tremendous high-point ability. Uses physicality before going up for jump balls. Will leap for catches over defenders. Shows courage to jump for balls with defenders closing in. Very effective leaving his feet to lunge/extend for grabs to his side. Made a bunch of difficult diving catches. Extremely impressive body control to adjust for throws behind him. Does a nice job coming back to the ball and will secure it to his body. Mostly aligned out wide to the left but has experience all over and in the slot. Experience running routes out of the backfield. Mismatch on angle routes. Twitchy to turn into a runner. Given designed touches in a variety of ways. Extremely dangerous with the ball in his hands. Very elusive and instinctive as a runner. Excellent ball-carrier moves in the open field. Great vision. Heavy usage as a wildcat quarterback. Can leap over the pile at the goal line. Possesses arm talent for trick plays and threw a jumping touchdown pass versus Baylor (2024). Has the size and showed flashes of blocking at a high level. Shows strength connecting on blocks in space. Showed tremendous effort trying to dive on a fumble in a crowd (ended up being ruled incomplete) versus Kansas (2024). Skillset to be a great kick returner.

 

Weaknesses

Would like him to be more on-point as a route runner. Not finishing an in-breaking route into coverage resulted in an interception versus Kansas (2024). Sometimes not on the same page with his quarterback to settle on deeper in-breaking routes. Can be inconsistent tracking the ball down the field. Allows some passes to get to his body. Needs to be better blocking at his size when faced with aggression. Needs to be more consistent as a blocker in general. Has some trouble squaring up and will miss.

Conclusion

Overall, Williams is an extremely versatile weapon with outstanding twitch, quickness, size, and ability as a ball-carrier. He is more dangerous as a runner than pure wide receiver right now, but there is certainly reason to be optimistic about continued growth based on his skillset and the tough grabs made.
