Ian Williams (born August 31, 1989) is an American football nose tackle who is currently a free agent of the National Football League (NFL). He was signed by the 49ers as an undrafted free agent in 2011. He played college football at Notre Dame.
Williams grew up in Altamonte Springs, Florida, and attended Lyman High School, where he played football for coach Bill Caughell. In his junior year, Ian was responsible for 83 tackles, 23 tackles for loss (TFL), 12 hurries, 4 forced fumbles, 2 sacks, 4 fumble recoveries and 4 passes broken up, as the Greyhounds won their third straight 5A district title and beat Melbourne High School for Lyman’s first Florida playoff win in school history. Williams continued his dominance from the defensive tackle position in 2006, recording over 40 tackles, 18 TFL, and 12 sacks. He was recognized as the 120th rated prep player nationally on ESPN 150’s listing and 30th on the South Florida Sun-Sentinel list of top 50 Florida prospects.
Williams was heavily recruited, receiving scholarship offers from Notre Dame as well as most of the top southern programs in the country, including the Alabama, Auburn, Clemson, Florida, Mississippi, and South Carolina. Before her death in 1995, Ian’s maternal grandmother, Lily May Green, had told Ian’s mother, Natalie Williams that her grandson would one day play for the University of Notre Dame. Not wanting to influence his decision, Natalie waited until after Ian signed with Notre Dame to tell her son of his grandmother’s prescient forecast.
