As a player, Williams was a second team All-SEC performer his final season in the black and gold. The righty worked to a 1.98 ERA in 25 appearances while picking up 13 saves - setting Mizzou's single-season mark. He finished his career tied for third all-time with 16 saves.
Following his collegiate career, Williams spent five seasons in the minor leagues from 2015-21, playing for the AA Amarillo Sod Poodles with the Diamondbacks organization. He worked for Driveline Baseball as an online pitching trainer prior to joining the Mizzou staff.
