Williams tied an Ohio State school record with five rushing touchdowns, also piling up 189 yards on just 21 carries to lead the Buckeyes to a 49-10 victory over Rutgers to wrap up a five-game homestand. With fellow backfield mate TreVeyon Henderson unable to play in the game due to injury, Williams assumed the role of bell-cow for the Buckeyes. Williams is now the third Ohio State player to win the award this season, joining wide receiver Marvin Harrison Jr. and quarterback CJ Stroud.
A three-star recruit from Cincinnati, Williams has burst onto the scene in 2022 recording 497 yards to go with a career-high eight touchdowns just five games into the 2022 season.
