For Williams, playing linebacker at Lamar High School means facing college-bound talent consistently, tough Texas programs like Sachse, Martin, and others.

Yet as only a sophomore in the fall, he amassed 151 total tackles, 93 solo takedowns, 22 tackles for loss, three sacks, 10 hurries, an interceptions, and two passes defended.

Through his freshman and sophomore seasons combined, Williams has tallied 240 total tackles, 143 solo takedowns, 37 tackles for loss, four sacks, 16 hurries, an interception, and five passes defended.

The Panthers have been very busy in Texas this week, including extending this scholarship offer. Offensive linemen R'Monie Edwards ('28), Alexander Herrera ('27), Nicholas Howard ('26), and Jasper Ngokwere ('27) also earned offers from the Pitt coaching staff will several assistants were in state.
