Maryland DB Avantae Williams reenters NCAA Transfer Portal
Maryland safety Avantae Williams has re-entered the NCAA Transfer Portal on Thursday evening, On3 has learned. Before transferring to Maryland, Williams suited up for the Miami Hurricanes.
This season, Williams played in four games for the Terrapins, tallying three tackles.
A four-star prospect coming out of Deland, Fla., in the 2020 recruiting class, Williams was rated as the No. 54 overall player and No. 1 safety in the class, according to the On3 Industry Rankings.
Williams did not play in 2020, as he redshirted for the Miami Hurricanes. He played in four games in 2021, recording 18 total tackles, as well as an interception. Williams looked primed for a bigger role in 2022 but did not achieve that.
In the 2022 season, Williams played in 11 games and recorded just nine tackles. Williams also recovered one fumble for a Hurricanes team that greatly struggled during the 2022 season.
When he chose Miami out of high school, Williams chose the ‘Canes over offers from Miami, Georgia, Alabama, LSU, Ohio State, and others.
