Former Cal linebacker profile shows blue-chip, multi-sport toughness
Worrell Williams was a highly decorated Sacramento-area linebacker recruit for California, ranked by Rivals as the No. 6 outside linebacker nationally and praised as a cat-quick, multi-purpose defender who also produced as a runner and passer in high school. His profile stands out for versatility, burst, and physicality—traits that translate well to a downhill, high-energy linebacker role. The key fit question is whether a team wants a throwback tone-setter who brings intensity and versatility more than pure size; at 6-0, 245, he projects as a tough, instinctive defender rather than a flashy stat-padding machine.
