As a sophomore in 1990, he was third on the team with 60 tackles, including a career-high 16 in a win over Army. In 1991, Williams was among the top linebackers in the East, registering 79 tackles, second-best on the team, and leading the BIG EAST with 13 sacks for minus 78 yards. As a senior, Williams capped his standout career with 69 tackles, giving him 242 in his career which, at the time of his graduation, ranked him among the top linebackers to ever play at Rutgers. His 21 career quarterback sacks rank fourth in school history.
