Williams, a **6-foot-3, 255-pound** defensive force, has made waves in high school football with his impressive stats. Last season, he recorded **11 sacks and 28 tackles for loss**, earning recognition as a **MaxPreps and Under Armour All-American** [B](https://www.si.com/college/byu/recruiting/byu-football-makes-the-top-five-for-edge-rusher-prince-williams?copilot_analytics_metadata=eyJldmVudEluZm9fY2xpY2tTb3VyY2UiOiJjaXRhdGlvbkxpbmsiLCJldmVudEluZm9fY29udmVyc2F0aW9uSWQiOiJiUlpZVDhyM2NicjRIU0tTVmZwd1MiLCJldmVudEluZm9fbWVzc2FnZUlkIjoiTlhYU0w3ZDRRejVmZUtKY3d4ekF0IiwiZXZlbnRJbmZvX2NsaWNrRGVzdGluYXRpb24iOiJodHRwczpcL1wvd3d3LnNpLmNvbVwvY29sbGVnZVwvYnl1XC9yZWNydWl0aW5nXC9ieXUtZm9vdGJhbGwtbWFrZXMtdGhlLXRvcC1maXZlLWZvci1lZGdlLXJ1c2hlci1wcmluY2Utd2lsbGlhbXMifQ%3D%3D&citationMarker=9F742443-6C92-4C44-BF58-8F5A7C53B6F1). His ability to disrupt offenses and dominate the line of scrimmage has made him one of the most sought-after recruits in the class of 2026.
Both **BYU and Utah** have emerged as strong contenders in his recruitment. Williams has already visited both schools on unofficial visits and plans to return for official visits this summer [A](https://kslsports.com/ncaa/prince-williams-byu-utah-top-schools/547509?copilot_analytics_metadata=eyJldmVudEluZm9fY2xpY2tTb3VyY2UiOiJjaXRhdGlvbkxpbmsiLCJldmVudEluZm9fY29udmVyc2F0aW9uSWQiOiJiUlpZVDhyM2NicjRIU0tTVmZwd1MiLCJldmVudEluZm9fbWVzc2FnZUlkIjoiTlhYU0w3ZDRRejVmZUtKY3d4ekF0IiwiZXZlbnRJbmZvX2NsaWNrRGVzdGluYXRpb24iOiJodHRwczpcL1wva3Nsc3BvcnRzLmNvbVwvbmNhYVwvcHJpbmNlLXdpbGxpYW1zLWJ5dS11dGFoLXRvcC1zY2hvb2xzXC81NDc1MDkifQ%3D%3D&citationMarker=9F742443-6C92-4C44-BF58-8F5A7C53B6F1). His interest in these programs highlights their growing reputation for developing defensive talent.
For **BYU**, securing Williams would be a major statement in their recruiting efforts. Under **defensive coordinator Jay Hill**, the Cougars have been aggressively pursuing top-tier defensive prospects [C](https://www.msn.com/en-us/sports/other/byu-football-sends-strong-message-on-recruiting-trail/ar-AA1EsCVK?copilot_analytics_metadata=eyJldmVudEluZm9fY2xpY2tTb3VyY2UiOiJjaXRhdGlvbkxpbmsiLCJldmVudEluZm9fY29udmVyc2F0aW9uSWQiOiJiUlpZVDhyM2NicjRIU0tTVmZwd1MiLCJldmVudEluZm9fbWVzc2FnZUlkIjoiTlhYU0w3ZDRRejVmZUtKY3d4ekF0IiwiZXZlbnRJbmZvX2NsaWNrRGVzdGluYXRpb24iOiJodHRwczpcL1wvd3d3Lm1zbi5jb21cL2VuLXVzXC9zcG9ydHNcL290aGVyXC9ieXUtZm9vdGJhbGwtc2VuZHMtc3Ryb25nLW1lc3NhZ2Utb24tcmVjcnVpdGluZy10cmFpbFwvYXItQUExRXNDVksifQ%3D%3D&citationMarker=9F742443-6C92-4C44-BF58-8F5A7C53B6F1). Williams’ skill set aligns perfectly with BYU’s defensive strategy, and his addition could significantly bolster their pass rush.
Meanwhile, **Utah** has built a reputation for producing elite defensive linemen. Head coach **Kyle Whittingham** has consistently developed NFL-caliber talent, making the Utes an attractive destination for Williams [D](https://www.si.com/college/utah/football/utah-utes-make-final-cut-for-3-star-edge-rusher?copilot_analytics_metadata=eyJldmVudEluZm9fY2xpY2tTb3VyY2UiOiJjaXRhdGlvbkxpbmsiLCJldmVudEluZm9fY29udmVyc2F0aW9uSWQiOiJiUlpZVDhyM2NicjRIU0tTVmZwd1MiLCJldmVudEluZm9fbWVzc2FnZUlkIjoiTlhYU0w3ZDRRejVmZUtKY3d4ekF0IiwiZXZlbnRJbmZvX2NsaWNrRGVzdGluYXRpb24iOiJodHRwczpcL1wvd3d3LnNpLmNvbVwvY29sbGVnZVwvdXRhaFwvZm9vdGJhbGxcL3V0YWgtdXRlcy1tYWtlLWZpbmFsLWN1dC1mb3ItMy1zdGFyLWVkZ2UtcnVzaGVyIn0%3D&citationMarker=9F742443-6C92-4C44-BF58-8F5A7C53B6F1). Utah’s defensive system would provide him with the opportunity to refine his skills and compete at a high level.
Williams’ recruitment has also drawn interest from **Miami, Arizona, and Wisconsin**. Each program offers unique advantages, but BYU and Utah stand out due to their strong defensive traditions and commitment to player development.
As Williams prepares to make his final decision, his upcoming visits will play a crucial role in determining where he will continue his football career. Whether he chooses BYU, Utah, or another program, his presence will undoubtedly make an impact at the collegiate level.
Would you like me to add more details about his playing style or potential fit at each school?
