REACTION: From the looks of it the new Razorback staff have made an emphasis on tall, space-taking defensive lineman in this class and last class. The interior of the line has been one of the weaknesses for the Razorbacks for sometime now so getting offers out early and often especially to junior college athletes is imperative. So far, there are 22 recorded offers for the defensive line in the 2021 class.
The JUCO freshman recorded 28 tackles, four tackles for losses, one sack and two quarterback hurries. His performance in 2019 earned him a spot on the All-MACJC second team.
Williams currently holds three other offers from Southern Miss, Louisiana-Monroe and Ole Miss respectively.
