veteran Pitt DB with slot/outside versatility and proven playmaking
Marquis Williams brings senior-level savvy, rare positional flexibility, and a track record of production to Pitt’s secondary. In the 2023 season, he played in all 12 games, started 10 at corner, and posted 26 tackles, 2.5 tackles for loss, one interception, and four pass breakups; over his Pitt career, he finished with 60 games played and 44 starts. His biggest differentiator is reliability: he’s battle-tested, competitive, and trusted in multiple coverages, with reports noting he can handle outside corner, nickel, and even safety responsibilities. The fit is strong for a defense that values toughness, experience, and versatility over flash.
