Navy’s steady, physical safety who’s earning trust, not just tackles
In the 2025 season, Maxwell Williams emerged as a reliable Navy safety, finishing with 9 tackles and 1 pass breakup while showing up most in the late-season snap samples that suggest growing trust in the defensive rotation. At 6-foot, 205 pounds, he brings the kind of sturdy, no-nonsense frame Navy loves: disciplined, physical, and built for service-academy football. His background as a Prep School transfer and two-time first-team all-district high school player hints at a grinder’s mentality, making him a fit for a team that values toughness, consistency, and assignment-sound defense over flash.
