We are at 76 days in the UteNation countdown to kickoff series and that means we take a closer look at no. 76, Zereoue Williams. The 6-foot-8 offensive lineman saw action in all 14 games in 2022, seeing snaps both on special teams and on the offensive line. Williams has prototypical size and athleticism for the tackle position with his height, long arms, and experience as an accomplished basketball player in high school.

Williams is a part of one of the deeper offensive lines not just in the Pac-12, but all of college football.

UteNation Take

Despite only playing football since his senior year of high school in 2020, the Phoenix, AZ native was a 3-star Rivals recruit. Williams arrived on campus weighing 250 pounds; solid for a basketball player but a lot of room to grow for an offensive lineman. Flash forward to the present day and Zereoue has packed on the weight and muscle to weigh in at 300 pounds.

Now in his third season in the program and seeing more game snaps time last year, Williams should take another step forward in his development. The depth at the offensive tackle position the past few seasons has granted Williams the time to learn the position and work on his technique. The competition is still intense, but Williams should find himself right in the middle of the two-deep discussion this fall.

Remembering Williams’ Recruitment

Zereoue was the first letter of intent received for the 2021 class and despite only playing high school football for one season, he held an impressive list of offers. Utah beat out local school Arizona State, Boston College, Florida State, Iowa State, Missouri, Oregon State, and Tennessee.
