Ray Williams brings proven ball production and turnover juice to JMU’s secondary
Ray Williams is a safety with a compact stat line that still pops: in the 2024 season for James Madison, he logged 12 tackles, 2 passes defended, and 1 forced fumble, building on a career at JMU that includes 66 tackles, 4 passes defended, 3 interceptions, and 50 return yards. His differentiator is playmaking—he’s shown he can create turnovers and impact field position, not just rack up stops. For a team, that points to a disciplined defender with instincts, toughness, and special-teams value, though the available data suggests he’s more of a disruptive complementary piece than a volume tackler.[1]
