At First Presbyterian Day School in Macon, Georgia, Williams is known for his dual threat ability and strong arm, according to 247Sports Director of Scouting Andrew Irvins. “(Williams) owns an athletic build and is pushing 6-foot-2, 190 pounds… (has) ability to extend plays and evade pressure is without a doubt one of his biggest strengths at this stage in his development,” Irvins said.

By the time Williams becomes a part of the Orange’s roster, Garrett Shrader will have graduated and the quarterback room would be narrowed down to Carlos Del Rio-Wilson, Braden Davis and Luke MacPhail, barring any transfer decisions.
