The 6-foot-3 guard with over 3.0 million Instagram followers became an internet sensation because of his dunking ability and viral highlight reels. At 12, Williams recorded his first official game dunk on April 15, 2017, while playing for the San Diego Sharks in sixth grade.

NBA stars like LeBron James praised his potential when he was still a teenager, and he was once ranked as a five-star recruit. During his seventh and eighth grade years, he was ranked as the top player in the 2023 class by the Naismith National Youth All-American Report.

Now at Sacramento State, Williams is stepping into a program that’s clearly on the rise. The university is set to unveil a brand-new basketball facility this fall, and its leadership is investing in building a competitive team.
