After a year of quarterback controversy at Oklahoma, Williams is looking for a fresh start with his old head coach. 2021 was a year where with major controversy at Oklahoma, and it all revolved around who the starting signal caller would be. Williams started the season as the backup behind Spencer Rattler. Williams took over the starting job midway through the big rivalry game between the Sooners and Texas Longhorns, the team’s sixth game of the season. He entered the game trailing 17-35, and led a comeback to win 55-48. Williams had 212 passing yards, two passing touchdowns, 88 rushing yards and one rushing touchdown.
