2019 safety Brian Williams

Elite Dallas Bishop Dunne 2019 safety Brian Williams cut his long list of major football offers to top group of six programs around noon Sunday.

Williams included Notre Dame, Stanford, Texas, Arkansas, Oklahoma, and Nebraska in his top six.

The 6-foot, 185-pound Williams is the early No. 1 player in the state of Texas for the 2019 recruiting class and No. 18 nationally in the initial 2019 Scout 100. He's No. 7 overall in the 247Sports Composite rankings, which have him as an early five-star.

In addition to his top six, Williams has garnered offers from Alabama, Auburn, Baylor, Colorado, Florida State, Georgia, Iowa, Kansas State, LSU, Mississippi State, Ohio State, Ole Miss, Penn State, TCU, Tennessee, Texas A&M, and USC, among others.

Bishop Dunne sent cornerback Nick Watkins to Notre Dame as part of the 2014 recruiting class, while 2015 receiver A.D. Miller is now a junior at Oklahoma. Bishop Dunne's 2017 group included Arkansas four-star cornerback signee Chevin Calloway and Nebraska three-star defensive tackle signee Damion Daniels.

Williams is the younger brother of former Arkansas running back standout Rawleigh Williams III, who was forced to medically retire from football.

In his first two games as a junior this fall, Williams has registered six tackles, one interception, and one fumble recovery.

As a sophomore in 2016, Williams recorded 78 tackles, five tackles for loss, eight interceptions, one forced fumble, one fumble recovery, two defensive touchdowns, and six pass breakups.

"(Williams) has a well-rounded skill set. He is a guy who can come downhill and blow up the run game, but he is also a tremendous cover guy," said national recruiting analyst Greg Powers. "He can turn and run with receivers like a corner, but has the size of a safety. He is only going to get better with time and he should end up rated as one of the top safety prospects nationally."
