Williams began his high school career at Portland's Central Catholic High School before moving to Florida to play his senior season at IMG Academy. He was a consensus four-star prospect in the class of 2023. In two seasons with the Hurricanes, Williams appeared in 21 games, catching 15 passes for 187 yards and a touchdown.
Williams' commitment comes one day after OSU tight end coach Jon Boyer was reported to be leaving Corvallis for Michigan State.
At 6'6" and 240 pounds, Williams adds considerable size to the Beavs' tight end group for Bray's second season at the helm. He is the 11th reported member of Oregon State's incoming transfer portal class for 2025.
