Personal Life

When asked what position he plays, Mykel Williams has to think for a second or two. "Defender," Williams said at the 2024 SEC Media Days. "Defender is the best way to describe what I do." The description fits, UGA coach Kirby Smart says because he can line up at EDGE or inside at defensive tackle or even drop back in coverage like a linebacker. “He’s really hard to block," Smart said ahead of the 2024 season. "He’s a dominant football player and he got better as the year went along last year. We need him to have a healthy camp to be as dominant as we think he can be.” The former five-star product of Columbus (Georgia) Hardaway was a second-team All-SEC pick in 2023 after racking up a team-leading 4.5 sacks. In 2022, he was a first-team Freshman All-American after racking up 31 quarterback hurries.
