Trae Williams is a fast-rising, camp-tested young safety for Furman
In the 2026 season, freshman safety Trae Williams has opened with 4 total tackles in Furman’s first two games, and the Paladins’ staff says he’s had a strong August camp after moving from cornerback to safety, which hints at range, versatility, and football IQ. He fits the mold of a developmental defender: undersized for some boxes, but active, adaptable, and already trusted enough to compete for major duty. If you want a safety with upside and special-teams value, he’s worth a close look.
