The four-star defensive back out of Kell High School in Marietta, Georgia ranks as the No. 18 cornerback, No. 33 recruit in the state of Georgia and No. 248 overall prospect in the 2026 class.

While Williams is just beginning to learn about the Spartans, the offer from MSU was a pleasant surprise for him and he is eager to learn more about the program.

"It felt good," Williams said about the Michigan State offer. "It was unexpected. I mean, it was a Sunday at 8 p.m., I was just on my PlayStation 5 and doing laundry and got the call. I don’t know a lot (about MSU yet) besides the basics, but I hope to learn all I can through the coaches and I’m going to do some research as well."
