Williams spent last season at Akron where he redshirted. The 6-7 redshirt freshman is a native of Dayton, Ohio playing at the Stivers School of Arts where he was a first team All-City selection to go along with being named second team Division III All-State. In his junior campaign, he was a double-double machine averaging 15.5 points to go along with 10 rebounds per game.

The addition of Williams now makes Liberty’s freshmen class made up of Jay Barber, Elijah Cuffee, Keegan McDowell and Brendan Newton to go along with Williams.
