Williams grew up in Fort Lauderdale, Florida, and attended Stranahan High School.[2][3] He played at the wide receiver position for the school's football team. As a junior, he tallied 40 receptions for 750 yards and 11 touchdowns and was selected by the Miami Herald as the Broward County Athlete of the Year for the 2020–21 school year.[3] He was rated as a five-star recruit and one of the best players in the 2023 college football recruiting class,[4] ranked at No. 17 by Rivals.com and No. 24 by ESPN.com. He was also rated as the No. 3 wide receiver in the class by ESPN and No. 4 by Rivals.com.[5][6]
Williams committed to Florida State on September 23, 2022.[7][8] He was considered the "crown jewel" in Florida State's 2023 recruiting class and was the school's first five-star recruit since 2017.[9]
Williams enrolled early at Florida State in January 2023.[10] Carter Karels of the Tallahassee Democrat described his "freakish athleticism and playmaking ability."[11] He caught his first college catch against southern Mississippi.[12] Against Syracuse on October 14, he caught his first touchdown pass, a 44-yard reception.[13]
