What made you decide you wanted to be a football player?
I was eight years old, at first it was a rough start for me. I’m in my first practice. My granddad, I was acting scared and then he came and got me out of practice and took me to the store, gave me a pep talk, I cried you know some of the things and I got me a powerade and I went back. And I’ve been a beast ever since I was eight years old. So my family is why I started it but now I do it for me.
What are your favorite moments from your football life?
My favorite moment was my sophomore year in a conference championship game, I broke my wrist in the midst of the game. And I continued to play on it and I ended up catching two interceptions with the same broken wrist and then we won the championship and it just felt like that was the best day of my life.
If you could hang out with any football player past or present for a day, who and why?
I would say Darrelle Revis. Just to get his knowledge and of what he has done because that’s my role model and who I try to model my game after.
What is your favorite defensive scheme and why?
I will say a 4-2-5 because it’s the most flexible scheme there is. Also that’s what I’m used to because I’m a man to man corner, I like to run man so I can get in the slot, outside or I will follow on the opposing team’s best player.
What stands out about your film the most?
My foot work is what I’ve been told from coaches that have recruited me is outstanding. Foot work and my patience, my patience Is what I’ve been told by receivers so that is what stands out the most to me as well.
What should we know about Cam Williams the person?
I’m goofy, I’m kind of, sort of a gym rat, family guy and I love chicken.
What do you love the most about the game of football?
What I love the most about football is how it translates to real life situations. It’s gonna get tough. It makes you a better man. You see things differently, analyze things and you gotta work hard you know what I’m saying, nothing’s going to be handed to you, you got to go and get it. So it translates to life a lot for me so that’s why I love it.
Who is the most underrated player you’ve played with and why?
I want to say this guy named Malachi Oglen, he was my other cornerback from my sophomore year. He’s very underrated, he’s actually an off-man guru.
What would a team get in a player like you?
A hard worker, I’m determined, relentless and my drive. I got experience, I’ve been a starter since my freshman year. And I’m a winner. I’m a team guy so I do whatever it takes to win and help win.
