Williams, No. 87 on the list, adds the latest distinction to a list of multiple preseason accolades, including preseason All-ACC, the Outland Trophy watchlist, the DCTF All-Texas Team and Second-team All-America Honors from Phil Steele.
 
The Dickinson, Texas native hasn't missed a game over the past three seasons and has played an integral role in the Mustangs' offense, helping the unit post 416.9 total offensive yards per game, ranking fifth in the ACC, as well as 283.1 passing yards per contest, the 12th most in the country and No. 2 in the conference.
