Scouting Report

California · 2025 draft class

Williams is a technically sound cornerback with excellent footwork and short-area quickness. He demonstrates advanced route recognition skills and the ability to anticipate and jump routes effectively. His change of direction ability allows him to stay in phase with receivers through their breaks. Williams shows good ball skills with the ability to locate and play the ball at its highest point. In press coverage, he uses good hand placement and timing to disrupt receivers' releases. His tackling is reliable, especially against screen passes and quick throws where he closes quickly and finishes with proper form.
