Canaan Williams brings proven linebacker production and veteran steadiness to Austin Peay
In the 2026 season, Canaan Williams is a senior linebacker at Austin Peay who already arrived with a real résumé: 86 tackles over two seasons at Kent State, plus 46 tackles in 2024 with a tackle for loss and an interception. He looks like a smart, physical, experienced fit in the middle of a defense, and his value is less about flash than reliability, alignment, and having seen plenty of college football chaos already. If your team wants a sturdy, mature LB who can stabilize the second level, he’s the kind of no-drama pickup coaches love.
