Recruiting

Williams originally committed to Buffalo under head coach Nate Oats on March 10, 2019. After Oats left Buffalo to accept the head coaching position at Alabama, Williams decommitted from Buffalo and committed to Washington State on May 7, 2019 over Buffalo, Virginia Tech, and Washington.

Williams played in 29 games, starting 13, and averaged 6.2 points and 21.7 minutes per game in his freshman season. He scored 15 points on his 19th birthday against Washington and a season–high 17 points against Oregon State for his best performances of the season.

During his sophomore season, Williams broke his career–high points several times. He broke it in back–to–back games, scoring 32 points in a win against California and scoring 40 points in a triple–overtime win against Stanford, marking the first time anyone from Washington State had scored 40 points since Klay Thompson scored 40 during the 2011 Pac-12 Conference Men's Basketball Tournament. For the season, he averaged 14.1 points and 30 minutes per game while starting all 27 games.

Coming off of his much–improved sophomore season, he averaged 9.5 points and 25.7 minutes per game in 35 games. He scored a season–high 19 points against both Winthrop and Oregon. On April 11, 2022, Williams transferred from Washington State to rival Washington.
