Patrick Williams adds experience to safety room

All 105 is a Nittany Sports Now series featuring every Penn State football player. This edition will focus on pedestrian safety Patrick Williams

Height: 6 feet

Weight: 197 pounds

Hometown: Brooklyn, New York

Before Penn State: Williams played tight end, receiver and linebacker at Eagle Academy. He helped the team to 10 wins in 2018.

2022: Williams redshirted for the 2022 season.

2023: Williams did not appear in any matches.

Where it is located: Williams is unlikely to play a significant role in Penn State’s secondary from an on-field standpoint. The safeties room is led by potential first-round pick KJ Winston and includes veterans Jaylen Reed and Zakee Wheatley, who have each received regular playing time since 2022. But Williams is now one of Penn State’s veterans , and the example he sets behind the scenes could be invaluable.
