Scouting Journals for Izayia Williams

Elite athlete who plays with hyper-physicality, making him one of the top linebacker prospects in the 2026 cycle. Measured at around 6-foot-1, 210 pounds with plus length before his senior season. One of the better combine athletes in the cycle and ran an 11.05 second mark in the 100 meters as a junior. Carries that athleticism over to the field on Friday nights. A one-time safety who has found a home as a dynamic, versatile lienbacker. A head-hunter who runs sideline-to-sideline, dishing out bone-rattling hits. Diagnoses and plays fast. Equally comfortable playing in a phone booth as he is dropping into space. Very productive as a junior, tallying 125 tackles, 15 tackles for loss, and one interception while scoring 10 touchdowns on offense. Younger for the cycle, turning 17 years old in July before his senior year. Will need to continue adding good weight to his frame. Sustained a knee injury before his senior season.
