Texas Offensive Lineman Cameron Williams Declares for NFL Draft, Joins Growing List of Departing Longhorns
Texas football is losing another key player to the NFL Draft, as offensive lineman Cameron Williams has announced he will be leaving the program. According to ESPN, Williams, a dominant force on the Longhorns’ offensive line, is set to enter the draft alongside a number of other Texas players departing this offseason.
Standing at 6-foot-5 and weighing 335 pounds, Williams is projected to make an impact as a tackle at the next level. He was part of the offensive line that helped Texas achieve significant success this season, including being a finalist for the prestigious Joe Moore Award, which honors the best offensive line in college football. The honor reflects the impressive performance of the Longhorns’ front five throughout the year.
Over his career at Texas, Williams started 16 games and appeared in 37, contributing significantly to the team’s offensive success. Texas’ offensive line played a key role in the team’s impressive performance this season, helping the Longhorns reach the College Football Playoff for the second consecutive year. Although they fell short in the semifinals against Ohio State, the season was a notable achievement for the program.
Williams expressed confidence in his decision to enter the NFL Draft, stating, “I feel like I’m ready, and it’s the best decision for me.” His decision to leave Texas marks the next step in his football journey, as he looks to bring his skills to the professional level.
Ranked as the 28th-best player available in the 2025 NFL Draft according to ESPN, Williams is expected to be a valuable addition to any NFL team. His size, strength, and experience make him a promising prospect, and he’s sure to be a highly sought-after player among teams looking to bolster their offensive lines.
Williams’ departure is just one in a series of moves by Texas players declaring for the draft this offseason. As the Longhorns prepare to say goodbye to several key contributors, the program will look to reload with new talent to maintain its momentum and keep striving for excellence in the seasons to come. However, Williams’ decision marks the end of an era for the Texas offensive line, which helped solidify the team’s position as one of the top contenders in college football this season.
As he heads to the next chapter of his career, Williams leaves behind a legacy of hard work and dedication that contributed to Texas’ successful season and its place among the nation’s elite teams.
