Mylachi Williams returns for his second season as a Nittany Lion after redshirting in 2024. Despite not seeing the field, Williams was named the coaching staff’s Developmental Squad Defensive Player of the Week four times and showed flashes during practice throughout the offseason. Here’s a breakdown of Williams heading into next season.
Preseason Player Profile
Hometown: Philadelphia, Pennsylvania
Height: 6-3
Weight: 250 lb
Class in 2025: Redshirt freshman
Recruiting Rankings
Class of 2024: 3-star by 247Sports and ESPN, 4-star by On3 and Rivals, No. 24 edge rusher per 247Sports
Williams earned interest from Georgia, USC, Notre Dame, Michigan and others during his recruitment process.
Depth Chart Overview
Williams didn’t see any playing time in 2024 but may earn his first snaps in 2025, likely coming in garbage time. With Dani Dennis-Sutton, Zuriah Fisher, Max Granville and Jaylen Harvey projected to lock down spots in the two-deep, Williams will likely battle for a role as a third-stringer in the fall.
