Williams attended Northern High School in Detroit Michigan and was awarded an athletic scholarship to attend the University of Iowa in 1964. Iowa enjoyed 5 years of tremendous success under coach Ralph Miller from 1965-66 through 1969-1970, winning two Big Ten conference titles during that span. The 1967–68 team tied for the Big Ten Title with Ohio State with a 10–4 conference record, and a 16–9 overall record. This team was led by Williams, a 6-foot, 3 inch, 180 lbs guard, who led the Big Ten in scoring that year. Williams had a career high 39 points in a game against Northwestern University in 1967.
Williams scored a season average 25.3 points a game his senior year. Williams was voted the Big Ten MVP in 1968, as well as Iowa's team MVP. He was named a third-team All-American that year. Williams was drafted by the Milwaukee Bucks in the 3rd round (13th pick, 35th overall) of the 1968 NBA draft and was a pre-draft selection of the Minnesota Pipers of the ABA. He played two seasons for the Bucks, averaging 3.9 points a game and was cut by the team at the end of the 1969-70 season. Williams earned $25,000 in his first season and $30,000 in his second year.
