AZ Williams is a steady, special-teams-first linebacker with real growth upside
In 2025, Williams carved out a role for Troy as a special-teams contributor, appearing in seven games and logging 43 snaps, with his season high coming in the stretch run and a credited tackle at Old Dominion. Troy’s roster lists him at 5-foot-11, 203 pounds, and the program highlighted him as a scout-team player of the week, which points to reliability, effort, and buy-in. He is not yet a stat-heavy playmaker, but his profile fits a team looking for toughness, depth, and a player who can earn trust the hard way.[4][19]
