Jarahn Williams established himself as one of Howard University football’s most dynamic offensive threats during the mid-2000s. A native of Miami, Florida, Williams suited up for the Bison from 2004 to 2007, making his mark as a big-play wide receiver and consistent scoring threat.

​

During his Howard career, Williams recorded 97 receptions for 1,498 yards and 23 touchdowns, averaging an impressive 15.4 yards per catch. His ability to stretch the field and find the end zone made him a dangerous weapon in the Bison offense.

​

Williams delivered several memorable performances throughout his career. Against Charleston Southern in 2005, he scored on a 25-yard reception and added an explosive 65-yard rushing touchdown. As a senior in 2007, he recorded nine receptions for 142 yards and a touchdown against North Carolina A&T and nine catches for 101 yards and a score at Hampton. He also showcased his scoring ability with two touchdown receptions against Florida A&M that season.
