The incoming freshman looks to make an immediate impact for the Hoosiers on the defensive side of the ball.

The coveted four-star linebacker was ranked 301st in the country according to 247Sports Composite rankings, and the 18th best outsider linebacker in the country.

With a knack for the ball, Williams led the state of Indiana in sacks his senior year of high school, with 15 in just 11 games.

A combination of great speed and strength puts offenses in a tough spot as he can get past an offensive lineman with ease, but also overpower a running back as well.

Due to some holes in the linebacking core, Williams cold come in and produce right away at a high level.

He may not start right away, but don’t be surprised if by the end of the year, he is a constant name being called out by the announcers.
