Williams was the highest-ranked player in Indiana's 2020 class.

At Martin Luther King High School in Detroit, Williams made 34 receptions for 465 yards and five touchdowns in his senior campaign. He led the team to the 2019 Division II state championship game and an 11-3 record. He was ranked the No. 3 prospect in Michigan and the No. 40 wide receiver nationally by Rivals.

Williams has not appeared in a game with Indiana this season.

Ty Fryfogle and Whop Philyor are the top two receivers on the team, and Miles Marshall, David Ellis, Jacolby Hewitt and Javon Swinton have all seen time this season.

The Hoosiers also have Florida State transfer D.J. Matthews coming in next year, along with 4-star recruit Jaquez Smith.

Williams originally committed to Indiana over other offers from schools like Michigan, Michigan State and Purdue.
