Early life

Williams attended Ramsay High School in Birmingham, Alabama. He committed to play college football for the Florida Gators over other offers from schools such as Alabama and Auburn.[1]

Williams received the nickname “Scooby” from his friends in high school after constantly carrying around Scooby-Doo fruit snack gummies. In an interview with The Gainesville Sun, Williams said, “They were just so good, and they’d say, ‘You are what you eat,’ so it became Scooby Snacks.”[3]

In 2022, he played in eight games, totaling 14 tackles.[4] In week 3 of the 2023 season, he recorded a career-high eight tackles against Tennessee.[5] In 2023 he made ten starts, notching 53 tackles with four going for a loss, a sack, and two forced fumbles, after which he entered the transfer portal.[6]

Texas A&M

Williams transferred to play for the Texas A&M Aggies.[7] In week 8 of the 2024 season, he totaled six tackles with two going for a loss and his first-career interception in a victory against Mississippi State.[8] During the 2024 season, Williams appeared in 11 games with 10 starts, totaling 43 tackles with eight being for a loss and an interception.[9][10] He entered the 2025 season as a starter at linebacker for the Aggies.[11] In week 3 of the 2025 season, Williams brought down an interception in an upset win over Notre Dame.[12]
