After finishing his first full season of action tied for the ACC lead in passes defended, redshirt-freshman cornerback Garrett Williams has been named to Pro Football Focus' Freshman All-America Team.
Williams wrapped up 2020 as the ACC leader in passes defended (12), which ranks seventh nationally and was second amongst all rookies. He also ranked seventh nationally and led all FBS freshmen in pass breakups (10).
The leading tackler among ACC cornerbacks at 5.8 per game, Williams also had two highlight interceptions on the season. He became the first player to return an interception for a touchdown against Clemson's Trevor Lawrence and made a leaping highlight-reel interception against Louisville.
