27 Days till Kickoff: Baylor’s #27 Tevin Williams III
Tevin Williams III is a redshirt-freshman cornerback from Stillwater, Oklahoma. He should have three years of eligibility remaining past this season, and Baylor’s website has him listed at 6-foot-1, 190 pounds. While at BU, he is majoring in psychology and made the Big 12 Commissioner’s Honor Roll in the fall of 2021.
Our Travis Roeder says, “Williams is FAST and in a tall frame. He’s a good football player, too, flashing good game sense. He’s really physical and thus should be an ideal press-man corner. He demonstrated great coverage in the Spring game against Josh Cameron, staying on top of Cameron’s far shoulder to break up a deep ball.”
Travis also goes on to mention that Williams has all the “athletic potential in the world.” For reference, “he set Oklahoma high school records with a 10.24-second 100m and 20.92-second 200m! For comparison, Tyquan Thornton’s personal records were 10.50 and 21.07.”
Coming out of Stillwater High School, Williams led his team to a pair of state title appearances. As a senior in 2020, he added 42 tackles, 3.0 TFLs, and four PBUs. He was a four-star corner and rated as the No. 8 player in Oklahoma and the No. 27 corner nationally, according to 247. Williams was the No. 16 player on the Oklahoman’s 2021 Super 30 list. Williams committed to Baylor over Texas Tech and Arkansas State in the class of 2021. Once arriving in Waco, Williams redshirted his first season but appeared in the final three games of the season against Texas Tech, Oklahoma State, and Ole Miss.
