Williams, the Packers’ standout safety, has quickly carved out a reputation as one of the NFL’s most reliable young defenders. After a standout college career, The Packers selected Williams in the fourth round (111th overall) of the 2024 NFL Draft and he wasted little time making an impact. As a rookie, Williams appeared in 13 games, earning increased responsibilities as the season progressed and a spot on the PFWA All‑Rookie Team.

The 2026 Milwaukee High School Sports Awards are part of the USA TODAY High School Sports Awards program.

His ascent continued in 2025, when he became a full‑time starter and one of the anchors of Green Bay’s defense. Through his first two NFL seasons, Williams has compiled 149 total tackles, four interceptions, eight passes defended, one forced fumble and one fumble recovery. Known for his discipline in run support and his preparation in the film room, he has gained respect as a “coach on the field” despite his youth.
