Wesley

Williams

Williams (6'4/256) was a player on radars after he picked up 7.5 sacks and 13.5 tackles in his junior year at Duke, but he didn’t have nearly the same production in 2025 with just two sacks and nine tackles for loss in his 14 contests. He has a chance to be an immediate contributor on special teams however, as he blocked five kicks in his four years in the ACC. He didn’t test particularly well either in Indianapolis, as he ran a poor 4.89s dash for a player who projects to play outside, although his 1.68s 10-yard split is more promising. The hope is that the 2024 version is more indicative of his talents than his 2025 campaign, and the ability to make an impact with a potential blocked kick won’t hurt his chances of making the roster.

Williams is one of the earliest commits of this Duke class. He is just their third recruit for 2022, and is their only player listed at either TE or DE. It’s unclear which spot Williams will play at the next level, but at 6-foot-5 and 230-pounds, he certainly has the frame to play either one.
