Five-star linebacker with SEC-caliber range, now developing at SMU
Justin Williams arrives at SMU with a blue-chip reputation and the kind of linebacker profile teams covet: long, physical, and explosive in space. He was rated a five-star recruit in the 2024 class and, at Georgia, appeared in 12 games as a reserve inside linebacker after enrolling early and taking part in spring drills, which points to a player already trusted in a major program’s linebacker room. For SMU, he is worth caring about because his upside is tied to instinct, speed, and range more than box-score production right now.
