But the 18-year-old, from Victorian country town Cobram, also possesses an impressive attitude.
A shoulder injury early this year while playing for TAC Cup team Murray Bushrangers, which subsequently required a reconstruction, wrecked his season and placed his prospects of being drafted by an AFL club at the end of 2012 in doubt.
Williams, however, refused to be weighed down by negativity . . .
“I tried to keep myself positive and keep focused with what I was doing and just keep going,” he told ‘Roar Vision’.
“You have to be positive with the way you think about it. “I guess everyone wants to get drafted, and that’s just what I kept telling myself - it might happen, it might not - but luckily enough I landed at the Tiges . . .
“It is really exciting . . . up-and-coming club and couldn’t be happier to be here.
“It’s always been a dream of mine to play in the AFL and, now that I’m here, I can make that happen.”
Williams is more than comfortable with his status as a good, old-fashioned utility player, who can fill a number of roles in the side.
“I’ve played forward, back and midfield through the Bushrangers, so wherever the coach wants to put me, I’m happy to play. As long as I’m doing my bit for the team, I’m happy,” he said.
Williams’ response to what his immediate goal is at Tigerland further underlines his positive outlook on football life . . .
“I’d just like to knuckle down in pre-season and really work hard and stamp my authority on where I sit with the Club and, hopefully maybe down the track next year, I can push in for a game. But it doesn’t bother me if I don’t. I’ll just keep working hard and striving for that success,” he said.
