Williams (6 feet, 2 inches and 205 pounds) is predicted to sign with the Bulldogs by both 247Sports and On3. Williams is teammates with current Georgia commit Joseph Jonah-Ajonye, a four-star defensive lineman.
The Bulldogs have one commitment at the linebacker position: five-star Demarcus Riddick. Linebackers coach Glenn Schumann is always looking to add more talent to a position that Georgia has developed extremely well under Schumann and head coach Kirby Smart.
Schumann has coached two Butkus Award (nation’s top linebacker) winners in his tenure at UGA in Roquan Smith and Nakobe Dean. Returning starters Jamon Dumas-Johnson and Smael Mondon have a shot at the award in 2023.
The Bulldogs’ knack for sending linebackers to the NFL is something to note here. Georgia has produced nine draft picks at the position during Smart’s tenure in Athens.
