He had two games where he threw for over 400 yards and three others that went for over 300. His highest total came against Colorado Mines when he passed for 435 yards and four touchdowns which helped him be named RMAC Offensive Player of the Week after WNMU won that game, 54-28. He threw four touchdowns three times, against Sul Ross, Fort Lewis and Colorado Mines which were all wins. He ranked 28^th nationally in total offensive yards at 284.18 per game and 45^th in passing efficiency with 135.53.

He caught 11 passes twice (Black Hills State and Colorado Mines). He ranks nationally in several categories including ninth in receiving yards per game, and 22^nd in receptions per game.  He was named to the Beyond Sports Network honorable mention team at the start of the season, as well as being named to the Preseason All-RMAC Offensive squad. He was a First-Team All-RMAC recipient as a junior. For his career, he had 29 touchdowns and 2,458 receiving yards.


Williams was the main defensive back for the Mustangs in terms of passes defended and broken up. He led the team in both of those categories coming away with nine breakups and 12 passes defended. He also led the team in interceptions with three for 57 yards. He played and started all 11 games and was third on the team in total tackles with 59, while he led the team in solo stops with 38.
