Background
Early life
Williams was born on June 29, 2004, in Warm Springs, Georgia, later attending Hardaway High School in nearby Columbus. After his senior season, he was named the Maxwell Football National High School Defensive Player of the Year. A five star prospect, Williams was ranked by 247Sports as the fourth-best recruit in the 2022 recruiting class.
College career
Williams initially committed to USC, but flipped to Georgia in October 2021. He was the highest-rated recruit signed by defending national champion Georgia in the 2022 recruiting cycle. In July 2022, Georgia head coach Kirby Smart said of Williams: "The number one thing that stands out about Mykel is his work ethic.... I'm excited for him... He's a great young man."
As a true freshman in 2022, CBS Sports rated him as a "freshman to watch", and ESPN rated him as a preseason true freshman All-American. He played in Georgia's 2022 season opener against No. 11 Oregon and registered two quarterback hurries. At the end of the season, he was named to Pro Football Focus's PFF True Freshman All-America team.
Williams' number at Georgia was #13.
