History

Cameron Williams was born on October 16, 2003, and hails from Duncanville, Texas. Growing up, Williams starred at Duncanville High School, where he played a key role in leading the Panthers to back-to-back appearances in the Texas 6A Division 1 State Championship game. His high school career showcased his potential as a massive, physical presence on the offensive line.

As a recruit, he was rated a three-star prospect and drew interest from top programs like Oregon, Oklahoma, Miami, and Texas, with elite offensive line coaches like Mario Cristobal (then at Oregon) and Kyle Flood (Texas) vying for his commitment. Initially, Williams committed to Oregon, alongside fellow Texas lineman Kelvin Banks. However, when Cristobal left Oregon for Miami late in 2021, Williams reopened his recruitment and flipped to Texas.

At Texas, Williams took time to develop. In his first two seasons (2022 and 2023), he appeared in 22 games, mostly on special teams and as a reserve, with only one start which was against Kansas State in 2023, where he helped the Longhorns rack up 478 offensive yards in an overtime win. His breakout came in 2024 as a junior, when he claimed the starting right tackle spot.

Last season he started all 16 games, playing 938 snaps and allowing just 16 pressures on 459 pass-blocking snaps. His run-blocking prowess and growing pass-protection skills earned him SEC Co-Offensive Lineman of the Week honors after a dominant performance in Texas’s 52-0 win over Colorado State. He was instrumental in helping the team average over 500 yards in multiple games, including a 562-yard outburst against Florida. He would end the season allowing only two sacks.

THE GOOD

  • Williams is a monster of a human being and his fellow teammates and coaches have all commented on his size and strength.
  • A pure mauler with exceptional natural strength.
  • Has vice-grip hands and a great ability to latch onto defenders with ease.
  • Delivers jarring initial punches that can stagger even the most powerful defensive linemen.
  • A people-mover who excels at creating lanes in gap and power schemes.
  • Consistently washes down defensive tackles and seals edges on outside runs.
  • Uses his massive frame and long arms to consistently stall bull rushes.
  • Rarely gets pushed back into the pocket.
  • Plays with a mean streak, often finishing blocks through the whistle.

THE BAD

  • Struggles with range when isolated against speed rushers.
  • Has issues to mirror or recover.
  • Heavy feet and stiff hips limit his ability to redirect against counters or stunts.
  • Tends to lean forward when adjusting, which savvy NFL defenders could exploit with inside moves.
  • Acceleration off the snap is solid but not elite, which given his size makes him slower to engage speed threats, relying more on reach and power than explosive get-off.
  • Still developing hand placement and timing.
  • Occasionally caught lunging or with hands too wide, especially late in games.
  • Raw fundamentals reflect his limited starting experience.
  • Very little versatility, spent his college career exclusively at right tackle.

THE FIT

Cameron Williams is a polarizing prospect. His size, strength, and 2024 tape make him a rising talent, with some analysts ranking him as high as the third-best tackle in the 2025 class. He is a high-upside lineman with rare physical tools and his last season at Texas proved he can hang with top competition, but his technical flaws and agility limitations mean he’s not a plug-and-play left tackle. Teams will bet on his frame and nastiness, hoping to coach up the rest. A classic “traits over polish” prospect who could thrive with the right fit and patience.

His rawness, limited experience and agility concerns cap his ceiling until he displays more at the NFL combine and Pro Day. He’s also only proven to play at right tackle in Texas limiting where he’s projected to play in the NFL. Let’s also not ignore his only season starting for Texas was seriously littered with penalties. Not only did he lead Texas in flags last season, he was penalized fourth-most nationally among all offensive linemen.

The Dallas Cowboys offensive line needs help. Both tackle positions need work and Williams profiles as an immediate challenger to Terence Steele at right tackle. Steele’s 2024 struggles (nine sacks allowed, 41 pressures and limited effectiveness at run blocking) exposed a need for competition or an upgrade. Williams’ size, length, and anchor ability fit the Cowboys’ desire for a road-grader at tackle. His run-blocking prowess aligns with Dallas’ new emphasis on pounding the ground game with Rico Dowdle or a new running back (which seems more likely).

Williams could kick inside to right guard given the recent news on Zack Martin. His heavy hands and power suit interior play, though his limited agility might cap him against quick DTs like Dexter Lawrence. Still, his frame and Texas pedigree echo Tyler Smith’s successful tackle-to-guard transition. With Tyler Guyton is locked in at left tackle, Williams could start as a versatile backup, spelling Steele or Guyton while developing.

Williams is not a left tackle savior, Guyton would certainly hold that spot if Williams was selected, but he’d bring competition and depth with starter potential by his sophomore season. If Dallas grabs him in Round 2 or 3, he could be a Terence Steele replacement or Zack Martin’s post-retirement succession plan, thriving in a scheme that masks his agility limits with tight ends and play-action. For a team desperate to rebuild its trenches, Williams is a Texas-sized solution just 200 miles from home.
