New Mexico’s safety with size, range, and a physical edge
Williams projects as a versatile safety for New Mexico because his game is built on athleticism, hit power, and coverage ability rather than just box-score stats. In 2026 preseason data, he’s listed as a strong safety with a 68 overall rating, 87 speed, 89 acceleration, 82 hit power, and 71 zone coverage, which points to a defender who can close fast and play with pop. The biggest reason to care: he looks like a downhill tone-setter who can still survive in space — the kind of safety coaches love when they want urgency, toughness, and reliability.
