Kieron Williams

Safety Kieron Williams will head into his junior season hoping to increase his role on the Husker defense, while continuing to make an impact on special teams. The 6-1, 195-pound Williams first made his mark on special teams as a true freshman tying a season record with three blocked punts. Last fall, Williams again worked as a reserve safety, while continuing to excel on special teams. Williams has played in all 26 games since joining the NU program, and is part of a group of players who will compete to earn a safety spot alongside returning senior starter Nathan Gerry. Williams spent the majority of the spring working with the top defense.
