The 6-foot-2, 205-pound prospect is a product of Washington High School in Massillon, Ohio. He ranks No. 703 nationally, No. 55 in linebackers, and No. 29 in the state of Ohio, according to 247Sports Composite.
Williams was a target for the Eagles throughout his recruiting process. The rising senior originally received his offer from Boston College on Feb. 8 and took an unofficial visit on April 5 as well as an official visit on May 30.
He spoke with Boston College Eagles On SI after his official visit and shared what his biggest takeaway was from the coaching staff.
"My biggest takeaway with the staff and with Coach O'Brien," Williams said, "Is how they believe in the players, and how they are culturally strong together as a team, which enhances overall chemistry."
Currently, Boston College has 16 commits for the class of 2026 and ranks No. 26 overall and No. 9 in the ACC in 247Sports’ recruiting rankings.
