Nebraska added more defensive back help for the fall on Friday, getting a commitment from Air Force Prep defensive back Kieron Williams on Friday afternoon.

Williams will join Nebraska this summer.

Williams was in Lincoln for a visit on Friday, and said he wanted to be in Lincoln after seeing the facilities at Nebraska and how he could contribute.

“I talked to coach Warren, came here and took a look around and knew this is where I wanted to be,” Williams told HuskersIllustrated.com.

Williams was initially part of Air Force’s 2013 class and spent last fall at Air Force Academy Prep in Colorado Springs, where he played as a safety. He decided that he wouldn’t be attending the Air Force Academy, and began looking around. The courtship with Nebraska was a quick one.

“It didn’t work out well at Air Force, and this became an opportunity for me, and I came up here and checked it out and immediately liked it,” he said. “I knew right off the bat I loved this place. I wasn’t going to go to the Academy, and the cards didn’t play out how I wanted, so I was looking for somewhere else to go.”

Williams said he will be back in Lincoln next week for the start of summer classes and workouts. The 6-foot Shreveport, La., native played corner in high school, but made the transition to safety at the prep school level.

He said his versatility will be one way that he can help Nebraska.

“They want to use me as a safety,” Williams said. “I’ll come in, maybe dime, nickel packages and they’ll use them as they need me. They see me as a safety, and that’s what I’ll do. They see me being able to come in and make an impact, but nothing is guaranteed, so I’ll have to come in and work from day one to get a job.”

Williams said his past with Warren, as well as his comfort with Nebraska’s coaches on his visit helped seal the deal on wanting to be a Husker.

“They were all down-to-earth guys, and I kind of already knew Coach Warren, and I already had a bit of relationship with him and knew each other, so I was comfortable,” Williams said. “They all made me feel at home. That was one of the big things, I wanted to feel at home and that it’s the place for me. I felt all those things when I visited.”
