Heidi Williams is UMBC’s breakout two-way guard with real paint-grit and steal-sniffing instincts
In the 2025-26 season, Heidi Williams emerged as an instant-impact freshman for UMBC, appearing in all 32 games and averaging 9.5 points, 5.3 rebounds, and 1.8 steals per game while starting 20 times. Her calling card is versatility: she can score, rebound like a forward, and disrupt passing lanes, plus she showed clutch poise by hitting late free throws in UMBC’s win over Virginia. For a team needing a competitive, high-motor guard who brings toughness and two-way value, she looks like a very good fit.
