As a College Recruit

Physically-developed pass catcher who is one of the smoothest route-runners in the 2023 cycle. Measured at over 6-foot-2, 190 pounds prior to his senior season. Has a filled out build, particularly in his lower body. Highly productive on Friday nights, accounting for 1,256 yards and 15 touchdowns on 69 catches. A savvy, technical receiver who separates with change of direction within his routes. Has good feet. Beats corners on double moves. Physical and tough to bring down after the catch on Friday nights. Has soft hands. Performed well in 1-on-1’s against top cornerbacks at Under Armour’s Atlanta camp prior to his senior season. Has not shown top-end long speed to this point. While he has good ball skills, does not have overly long arms which can affect the catch radius in contested situations.

Ayden Williams flashes polish at Alabama-Mississippi All-Star practices

Charles Power

Ayden Williams showed why he’s the top wide receiver prospect in the state of Mississippi at Alabama-Mississippi All-Star Game practices. The 6-foot-2, 190-pounder has looked like one of the best route-runners in the 2023 cycle dating back to his junior season and off-season events. That skill set was on display once again in Mobile, as Williams was the top receiver on hand for either team. The Ridgeland (Miss.) product was able to create separation on a consistent basis. He’s advanced as a route-runner and understands how to read and set up defensive backs. Williams got vertical for a long touchdown on Tuesday night. On Wednesday, we saw him square off with Kelley Jones on several reps, winning one with a nasty inside move. Williams looks like a potential early contributor in Oxford given his technical polish.

Ayden Williams a Top Performer at Under Armour Future 50

Charles Power

Ayden Williams stood out in the morning session as one of the top route-runners at Future 50. The Mississippi native is a smooth mover who is able to quickly change directions within his routes. Williams continued his strong showing in 7-on-7, coming down with several nice grabs in traffic. We saw him make a high-point catch within a crowd on a pass from Jackson Arnold. Williams followed that up with two touchdowns from JJ Kohl – the second coming on another contested grab where he took the ball from Malik Muhammad. Williams’ route-running, size and ability to come down the ball in tight confines lands him as a Top Performer.
