In the 2009 season, James Williams was the Crimson’s anchor at left tackle, widely described as one of the nation’s premier and most underrated linemen, praised for elite pass protection, run-game dominance, and durability after starting every game from his sophomore through senior years. He was a three-time All-America selection and a three-time unanimous All-Ivy pick, with coaches and media noting that he gave Harvard a true blind-side protector and tone-setter.
