Tristan Williams brings state-title juice and explosive pop to Samford’s backfield
In the 2025 season, Tristan Williams arrives at Samford as a freshman RB with a compact 5-foot-8, 180-pound build and a reputation as an explosive, physical runner who is dangerous in space. Samford’s staff described him as a state champion and “dynamic” in-state back, noting he’s a violent runner with big-play ability; his high school résumé includes a school-record rushing total and a 99-yard touchdown run. He looks like a strong fit for a team wanting toughness, burst, and a runner who can turn a crease into a chunk play.
