Lazarus Williams brings proven edge pressure and disruptive DL production to NMSU
Williams has already shown he can be a real problem for offenses, leading New Mexico State in sacks in 2022 and producing 10.5 sacks and 13.5 tackles for loss across the 2021-22 seasons; ESPN also lists him with 37 solo tackles and 11 sacks in his career profile, underscoring a disruptive front-line presence[2][1]. His biggest differentiator is pure pass-rush impact—he’s the kind of defensive lineman who can flip a drive with backfield penetration, which makes him a strong fit for a team needing pressure, toughness, and a veteran playmaker up front[4][6].
