Kourt Williams Moving to Linebacker at Ohio State to Give Himself Better Chance to Play at Next Level

After three years as an Ohio State safety, Kourt Williams is moving to linebacker ahead of his fourth season as a Buckeye.

It’s a move that the 6-foot-1, 228-pound fourth-year Buckeye decided to make because he believes will give him a better chance of eventually playing in the NFL.

“It was an idea that I brought to the coaches. I thought about it, prayed about it for a while. Just thinking about the next level, I think it’ll be a good move for me,” Williams said after his first practice as an Ohio State linebacker on Thursday.
