Murray State’s Malachi Williams brings linebacker size, toughness, and a proven tackle profile
In the 2023 season, Malachi Williams flashed real impact for Murray State with 54 total tackles, 26 solo stops, a tackle for loss, and a forced fumble, then battled through injury in 2024 before returning in 2025 and continuing to play on the defensive side of the ball. At 6-foot-1 and about 230-234 pounds, he looks like a sturdy inside linebacker who fits best in a physical, downhill defense. The hook here is his willingness to stack contact, play through adversity, and provide steady run support rather than just chase highlight stats.
