Manly Williams brings veteran Hawaii trench work, pass-rush juice, and disruptive upside
Manly Williams is a proven Hawaii defensive lineman whose value shows up in the dirty work: in the 2019 season, he finished with 20 solo tackles and 3 sacks, and Hawaii’s roster bio credits him with 44 tackles, 3 interceptions, 1 sack, 1 forced fumble, and 1 fumble recovery that year[1][2]. What makes him intriguing is the playmaking pop for a DL — takeaways, backfield disruption, and a knack for showing up in big moments rather than just eating blocks[1][4]. If your team wants a tough, experienced interior defender with production and a nose for chaos, he’s the kind of guy who makes opposing coordinators grumpy.
