Ashley Williams brings NFL-sized upside to the Cajuns' linebacker room
In the 2025 season, Ashley Williams produced 20 total tackles and 2.5 tackles for loss for Louisiana, and at 6-5, 255 pounds, he stands out as a long, physical outside linebacker with real edge-setter potential.[1][14] He’s a redshirt junior who has steadily carved out a role, which suggests reliability and development rather than flashy boom-or-bust production.[1][14] For a team, that means a player who can help on the edge, play with length, and bring a sturdy frame to the front seven—less highlight-reel chaos, more tough-guy utility with room to grow.[1][14]
