Howard freshman LB Brandon Williams brings compact, active-frame upside
In the 2025 season, Brandon Williams appeared in 11 games for Howard and logged 3 total tackles, a small sample that still points to a developmental linebacker with room to grow into the role. At 6-foot-1 and about 220 pounds as a freshman, he fits the modern ‘run-and-hit’ mold: quick enough to chase, sturdy enough to fill gaps, and young enough that coaching staff can still shape his game. If your team wants a high-upside defender rather than a finished product, Williams is the kind of linebacker worth watching.
