Williams suffered a torn Achilles tendon against Tulsa this past year, causing him to miss the entire season. The 6-foot-5, 256-pound Williams started alongside Auston English at defensive end for the first four games before the injury.

Williams’ career has been marred by injuries.

In 2005, he missed the entire year after suffering a torn ACL in the opener against TCU, allowing him to pick up his first medical redshirt.
