Previewing the 2025 Season for Penn State OL Mylachi Williams with his player profile
Going into the 2025 football season, Nittany Lions Wire will examine each player listed on the Penn State roster. Over the preseason, each profile will cover the player's background, how recruiting websites rated them coming out of high school, and what role they will play for James Franklin this season.
Mylachi Williams returns for his second season as a Nittany Lion after redshirting in 2024. Despite not seeing the field, Williams was named the coaching staff's Developmental Squad Defensive Player of the Week four times and showed flashes during practice throughout the offseason. Here's a breakdown of Williams heading into next season.
Preseason Player Profile
Hometown: Philadelphia, Pennsylvania
Height: 6-3
Weight: 250 lb
Class in 2025: Redshirt freshman
Recruiting Rankings
Class of 2024: 3-star by 247Sports and ESPN, 4-star by On3 and Rivals, No. 24 edge rusher per 247Sports
Williams earned interest from Georgia, USC, Notre Dame, Michigan and others during his recruitment process.
Depth Chart Overview
Williams didn't see any playing time in 2024 but may earn his first snaps in 2025, likely coming in garbage time. With Dani Dennis-Sutton, Zuriah Fisher, Max Granville and Jaylen Harvey projected to lock down spots in the two-deep, Williams will likely battle for a role as a third-stringer in the fall.

Highly Touted Playmaker Sends Clear Message on Tennessee Football
Highly Touted Playmaker Sends Clear Message on Tennessee Football originally appeared on Athlon Sports. The Tennessee Volunteers have made the running game a significant priority under head coach Josh Heupel over the last few years. That is likely to remain the case going forward. Advertisement So naturally, the Volunteers are already targeting the top in-state running back in the 2027 recruiting class. Four-star running back David Gabriel Georges has his eyes on Tennessee as well. Georges was back in Knoxville, Tennessee again in early June and raved about how well his visit went. "It was great as always," Georges told On3's Steve Wiltfong on June 5. "I've been up there a couple times now. I'm familiar with the place and coaching staff. It's always a good vibe. "The Vols look like they are building something special, and they see me as a key contributor. That is pretty cool." Tennessee Volunteers football head coach Josh Heupel© Samantha Madar/Columbus Dispatch / USA TODAY NETWORK via Imagn Images In addition to being the top Tennessee running back in the 2027 class, Georges is the No. 2 in-state prospect overall according to the 247Sports Composite rankings. Advertisement Furthermore, Georges is the No. 4 running back and 43rd-ranked player in the class. The Volunteers have been hosting 2027 recruits in recent weeks. Many of the program's top 2027 targets were in Knoxville over the first few days of June. Tennesse has yet to land a commitment in the future class. For 2026, the Volunteers have eight verbal commits but none of them are running backs. Tennessee signed two running backs in the 2025 class -- three-star players Daune Morris and Justin Baker. The Volunteers also landed running back transfer Star Thomas from the Duke Blue Devils.
