Per the following “locked in” social media post from Williams on Sunday afternoon, the 6-foot, 160-pound speedster will be in Raleigh for his Wolfpack tour, June 13-15:

A four-star in the eyes of Rivals, Williams stacks up at No. 44 among Georgia preps in his class.

As a junior last season, the lockdown defender recorded 38 tackles, four for a loss, two interceptions, 10 pass breakups, one blocked field goal, and four onside kick recoveries. He played every position in the secondary en route to earning first-team all-region honors before landing an offer from the Wolfpack in early January.
