Williams on why he chose Georgia

“The talks with coach Smart and coach Hartley stood out,” Williams said.  “I grew up on the Georgia Bulldogs! I have an opportunity to stay home and be a part of the dynasty, that’s a tough decision to deny.”

Relationship with coaching staff + their plan for Williams

“They treat me like family every trip. I feel like I’m home when I’m there. I’m most closest with coach Smart and coach Hartley and their plan is to develop me into the best version of myself.”

What it means to join UGA’s loaded TE room

“Our TE room is deeply filled with talent. I feel like I can be the next great tight end. And the relationship I have with coach Hartley is even better.”

The Peach State tight end joins coach Smart and the Bulldogs’ No.1 ranked class in the 2025 team rankings. He is accompanied by Justus Terry, Jadon Perlotte, and others.

Williams ranks as the No. 34 player according to the On3 Industry Ranking, a weighted average that utilizes all four major recruiting media companies. He also tabs in as the No. 1 tight end and the No. 5 player in the state of Georgia.

He currently has an On3 NIL Valuation of $68K. The On3 NIL Valuation is the industry’s leading index that sets high school and college athletes’ projected annual value (PAV).
