Keylijah Williams is Bryant’s explosive return weapon entering 2026
Williams is most valuable as a **field-flipping kick returner**, coming off a 2025 season in which he led the CAA with 722 kickoff return yards, averaged 24.9 yards per return, and scored on a 100-yard return that tied Bryant’s DI program record. He was named **All-CAA Second Team** and a **Stats Perform Preseason All-American**, signaling real national respect for his special-teams impact. As a fit, he brings instant hidden-yardage value and proven big-play juice, though his receiving role remains secondary, with just 22 catches over the 2025 season and a modest offensive footprint.[6][8][12][1]
