Williams, who spent two seasons in Lubbock, entered the transfer portal following the 2024-25 season. He also decided to go through the NBA Draft process to see if he was ready for basketball at the next level. Though talented, Williams struggled in the scrimmages and ultimately decided to withdraw his name from the NBA Draft.
Although he indicated that a return to Texas Tech was possible, Williams ultimately decided to continue his collegiate career at NC State.
