WR Isaiah Williams

Once considered the Illinois signal caller of the future, the quarterback turned slot receiver led the team in receptions and receiving yards/touchdowns in 2022. He is a versatile piece that can contribute in many aspects on the field.

Williams is a former third-team All-Big Ten selection and figures to enjoy similar success in his final year of eligibility. He only averaged 8.7 yards per catch last year, so he is most effective in short-yardage situations. KU’s star cornerback will likely be lined up with Pat Bryant this week, who caught 6 passes for 64 yards and a pair of touchdowns in the opener.
