Roger Williams brings speed, range, and two-way athleticism to Kentucky’s secondary
Roger Williams entered Kentucky as a top-100 defensive back with real pop: a 6-foot, 185-pound safety who starred in football and track, including a 10.7-second 100 meters, and posted 37 tackles and 2 interceptions as a senior in high school. Kentucky’s own roster notes praise his intelligence and athletic ability, which fits a safety who can cover ground, trigger downhill, and fit multiple roles. He looked like a developmental playmaker, and his fit hinges on whether his tools translate into steady, assignment-clean snaps in a deep SEC secondary.
