Big-bodied run-stopper with SEC-style mass: Laderion Williams arrived as a developmental DL prospect
Laderion Williams is a 6-foot-4, 310-pound defensive lineman from Douglas County who signed with North Carolina as a 2025 three-star prospect and was described as a solid interior fit with run-stopping physicality. In his prep season, he posted 60 tackles and 2.0 sacks in 14 games, and the common thread in the scouting chatter is clear: size, leverage, and punch are his calling cards. The catch? He did not see game action in 2025 and was later reported off UNC’s spring roster, so the on-field sample is thin—but the frame and toughness are real.
