Williams has been a member of the Missouri State staff since July 2022 and made the transition to assistant coach in the summer of 2024, where he continues to work with the Bears’ hitters and catchers. Williams originally came on board as a volunteer assistant and made the move to Director of Player Development a year later.
Williams served as first base coach for the Bears during the 2023 season and helped mentor a lineup that hit 89 home runs on the season, the fifth-highest total in school history. The 2024 campaign was even better for the MSU offense, with the Bears launching 114 home runs to rank second in school and fourth in Missouri Valley Conference history.
Prior to Missouri State, Williams spent three seasons at Texas A&M-Corpus Christi, two as a graduate assistant while earning his Master’s in kinesiology, and the 2022 campaign as a volunteer assistant for the Islanders, working primarily with infielders and catchers.
Williams played collegiately at Oklahoma State from 2014-17, where he was a two-time all-Big 12 selection at first base and led the league with 14 home runs as a junior in 2016. He helped the Cowboys to the College World Series that season and NCAA Regional berths all four years in Stillwater and graduated from OSU’s College of Business in 2017.
