early-career Lehigh linebacker with a high-floor, high-intensity profile
Williams is a sophomore linebacker at Lehigh in the 2026 season who already looks like a sturdy, team-first defender with real pedigree: at Needham High he was Massachusetts Gatorade Player of the Year after posting 64 tackles, 3 interceptions, 1 fumble recovery, and 1,640 rushing yards with 23 touchdowns in the 2023 season. At Lehigh, he appeared in the final five games of his first year in 2025 and mainly contributed on special teams, while also earning Patriot League Academic Honor Roll recognition. His size, two-way toughness, and proven competitiveness make him a smart fit for programs valuing grit, versatility, and upside.
