2025 NFL Draft profile: Texas OT Cameron Williams
Texas Longhorns offensive tackle Cameron Williams, a junior from Duncanville and the everyday right tackle on the Joe Moore Award finalist group this past season is set to hear his name called at the 2025 NFL Draft. Williams arrived on the Forty Acres after decommitting from Oregon as a raw prospect with the size to be great, ranked as a consensus four-star prospect and the No. 407 player nationally and the No. 35 tackle, according to the 247Sports Composite rankings. Advertisement After being used sparingly in his first two seasons behind Christian Jones, Williams started 15 games this past season at right tackle. Williams possesses elite size, standing at 6'5. After arriving on campus at 360 pounds, Williams has transformed his body into a more mobile and muscular build, weighing 335 pounds this past season and dropping as low as 317 pounds at the NFL Combine in February. Williams' size and length excite NFL teams throughout the league. His physical stature and strength directly project to the next level. In addition, he has power that jumps off the tape. Throughout the season, Williams' status as a prospect reached peaks and valleys. During the heightened frenzy around his size-length ratio, Williams was being projected as a first-round pick and top-five offensive tackle. Advertisement While Williams remains one of the most physically-gifted tackles in the class, NFL scouts have concerns about his quickness, technique, and bend. Williams is still young and has room to grow, but he consistently allowed speed rushers to beat him off the ball — while he shows flashes of great upside, his technique doesn't consistently demonstrate these abilities. He also struggled with penalties throughout the season, committing 16, the second-most among all offensive linemen in the FBS. Williams also had a difficult pre-draft process — he wasn't able to go through any testing at the combine or at the Texas Pro Day because of the knee injury he sustained against Clemson in the first round of the College Football Playoff. in fact, although Williams played against Ohio State in the semifinals, allowing sacks on two critical plays on the goal line after the ill-fated toss play on second and goal, he told the media at pro day that he was still only at 80 percent months after the season ended. Like any prospect, Williams has strengths and weaknesses. While size and a mean streak can't be taught, they are not enough to survive in the NFL. As a rookie, Williams will be best served in an offense where the ball is being released quickly and he can minimize extended drops against speed ends. In addition, Williams will greatly benefit from an NFL team where he can develop his technique early in his career to fully unlock his potential later on. Advertisement NFL coaching staffs will undoubtedly value his elite size and length, although Williams' ability to stop power rushers is enticing and NFL teams understand that he needs time to continue to develop.
