Ian Williams brings compact, downhill linebacker energy to SEMO
In the 2026 season, Ian Williams is a 5'11", 231-pound sophomore inside linebacker for Southeast Missouri State, and his profile points to a stout, physical defender with early special-teams/rotation value rather than a big-stat producer yet[1][2]. He was a decorated prep linebacker at Mayfield High, where he logged 112 tackles and 3.5 sacks as a senior on a state-title team, which hints at urgency, toughness, and a nose for contact[3]. The fit is intriguing if a staff wants a low-mistake, high-motor linebacker who can trigger downhill and add depth inside[1][3].
