Film Analysis:
Cameron Williams is a true junior prospect who has played a total of 32 games, including 11 starts, with the 2024 season marking his first as a starter for the Longhorns program. Williams spent the season playing opposite one of the top offensive tackle prospects in the 2025 NFL Draft, Kelvin Banks Jr.
Williams’ draft stock steadily rose throughout the year as Texas, for the first time in school history, navigated an SEC schedule, earning a berth in the SEC Championship Game and a playoff opportunity. In just one season as the full-time starter at right tackle, Williams has proven to be one of the better offensive tackle prospects in the 2025 NFL Draft. Williams possesses a unique blend of size, lateral quickness, and football IQ, which are fundamental traits that contribute to his effectiveness both in pass protection and as a run blocker.
In pass protection, Williams demonstrates quick, tempoed movements and the ability to gain good depth, allowing him to beat defenders to the top of the pass-rush arc. His quickness also enables him to move laterally in controlled movements, effectively reacting to defenders' counter moves, such as switching from outside to inside rush angles. Along with his movement skills, Williams displays excellent hand usage, throwing precise, quick-tempo punches in succession to disrupt defenders’ rhythm and slow their rush. He also shows high football IQ, quickly recognizing twists and stunts, and uses his reactionary athleticism to position himself properly to neutralize penetrating defenders. Williams' athletic profile gives him the ability to handle highly athletic edge rushers consistently and effectively.
In the run game, Williams’ reliance on athleticism, rather than raw power, makes him an ideal candidate for a zone-blocking scheme. At the snap, Williams showcases a quick first step, allowing him to beat defenders to a spot to execute reach blocks or cut off backside defenders. He is athletic and controlled enough to climb to the second level and engage linebackers and other second-level defenders effectively.
However, Williams has some concerns as a prospect, particularly regarding his play strength, which is evident in both pass protection and run blocking. In pass protection, while Williams is athletic enough to get to a strong initial position, defenders who convert speed to power can collapse him into the pocket when he tries to anchor. Similarly, in the run game, his lack of strength is noticeable in his inability to generate significant movement on defenders. In power run-blocking situations, Williams often stalls at the line of scrimmage rather than driving defenders backward.
Overall, Williams is an athletic offensive tackle with the tools and traits to be an early plug-and-play contributor as a pass protector. He is best suited for a zone-blocking scheme where his athleticism and quickness can be maximized.
