Darrion Williams brings pro-ready versatility, playmaking, and two-way edge to NC State
Williams was a major portal win for NC State, arriving as a highly regarded forward after starring at Texas Tech and earning preseason Wooden Award watch-list buzz for 2025-26. In the 2025-26 season, he produced 14.0 points, 4.6 rebounds, 2.8 assists and 1.1 steals per game in 33 starts, a useful blend of scoring, passing, and disruptive defense for a 6-foot-6 forward. His real value goes beyond the box score: he plays with toughness, can initiate offense, and gives a roster lineup flexibility, though his shot selection and consistency from deep remain worth watching.
