Making the case for Williams: Then interim coach Ed Orgeron thought enough of Williams to predict the defensive end would eventually become a first-round pick and called him the best defensive lineman he's ever coached.

The Florida native was one of three Pac-12 players named to ESPN.com's All-America Team.
