#63 – Cameron Williams (Freshman)

Height: 6’3”

Weight: 215 Pounds 

Hometown: Merrillville, Indiana

Position: Linebacker

One of Tom Allen and his staff’s many prized recruits, Cam Williams is no exception. The four-star stud linebacker out of Andrean High School in Merrillville, Indiana picked the Hoosiers over a bevy of other schools. The in-state prospect was ranked among the top 250 players in the nation per 247sports, a top-20 outside linebacker, and one of the best players in Indiana. Showing solid size at 6-foot-3, 205-pounds, Williams has all the makings of a Big Ten linebacker. Look for Williams to disrupt in the running game and get to the quarterback. He is athletic for his stature. 

In high school, Williams was an absolute menace. Over the course of his final two seasons he racked up 124 tackles, 17 sacks, two interceptions, two forced fumbles and a touchdown. Williams should be able to provide Indiana with some much-needed pass rushing ability. Williams notched seven pass breakups as well, lending credit to his coverage skills.

Williams will likely earn a role in the Hoosier linebacking corps. A rotation of fresh players is essential in the slog of the Big Ten, and Williams should have a good chance to make an impact as a true freshman. He will also have plenty of opportunity to shine on special teams. If all goes according to plan, Cam Williams should have a memorable and exciting career in the cream and crimson. Best to get to know him now.
