Williams is a 6-foot-0, 219-pound tailback who started his career at North Carolina in 2015 before coming to the Gamecocks, where he has been part of the regular rotation at tailback the past two seasons. He was the team's second-leading rusher in 2017 with 471 yards.
He gained 328 yards and tied for the team high with four rushing touchdowns in 2018. He played in just eight games, though, because of an injury to his left hand.
