Jamar Williams brings compact, active linebacker juice to Akron
In the 2025 season, Akron linebacker Jamar Williams recorded 13 solo tackles with no sacks, interceptions, or forced fumbles, showing up as a dependable run-support piece rather than a splash-play hunter.[3][15] At 5-10 and 216 pounds, the junior from Westerville South brings a lower-center-of-gravity build, toughness, and likely good leverage through traffic.[1] If you want a compact, physical linebacker who can fit the run, keep the defense on schedule, and play with steady effort, he’s worth a look; if you need a big turnover producer, that’s not his current calling card.[1][3]
