CJ Williams brings veteran CB instincts and ball skills to Western Carolina
CJ Williams is a seasoned Western Carolina cornerback who converted from wide receiver and has grown into a reliable, playmaking defender; in the 2024 season, he started all 12 games, posted 37 tackles, 2 interceptions, 6 pass breakups, and a forced fumble. His biggest differentiator is feel: he plays with experienced route recognition, quick trigger in coverage, and proven ball production, not just tackle volume. For a team needing a poised, competitive outside corner with special-teams-and-harder-matches energy, he looks like a smart fit.
