Second straight double-double Williams chipped in 22 points (6-15 FG, 1-5 3Pt, 9-13 FT), 10 rebounds and one assist in 39 minutes during Saturday's 68-67 loss to Alabama.
Impact The center finished with a terrific outing for the Razorbacks despite the defeat Saturday, as Williams posted his second straight double-double while tallying 20 points for the first time all season. The sophomore is currently averaging 10.0 points and 9.2 rebounds across 25 outings with Arkansas this year.

Near double-double Saturday Williams notched 10 points (4-9 FG, 1-2 3Pt, 1-1 FT), nine rebounds, two blocks and one steal over 33 minutes before fouling out of Saturday's 63-55 win over Mississippi State.
Impact Williams almost finished with a double-double during Saturday's win, as the sophomore grabbed at least eight rebounds for a 10th straight performance. In 23 appearances with Arkansas this year, Williams is averaging 9.4 points and a team-best 9.1 rebounds per matchup.

Jaylin Williams, Arkansas finish on 17-2 run, upset No. 12 LSU
Jaylin Williams hit a tiebreaking 3-pointer with slightly more than a minute to play, sending Arkansas over No. 12 LSU 65-58 on Saturday.JANUARY 16, 2022 • FOXNEWS.COM
Second straight double-double Williams notched 13 points (3-7 FG, 0-1 3Pt, 7-8 FT), 10 rebounds, three assists and two steals in 25 minutes during Wednesday's 87-43 victory over Missouri.
Impact The center logged his second straight double-double, as the sophomore once again led the Razorbacks on the glass while posting double figures offensively for a fourth time this year. Williams is currently posting 7.4 points and 8.6 rebounds in 16 games played.
JANUARY 13, 2022 • ROTOWIRE
Plays through injury Williams chipped in 11 points (5-8 FG, 1-1 3Pt, 0-2 FT), six rebounds, seven assists, three blocks and one steal over 24 minutes during Wednesday's 93-80 win over UNI.
Impact Williams gave Arkansas fans a scare after landing awkwardly on a shooter's foot and leaving the game afterwards, according to Rivals, but he was fortunately able to return to the contest. He had also apparently dealt with a back injury late in the offseason, but is playing through any discomfort for now. His presence was pivotal in this contest, as the late return helped the Razorbacks pull away, and he came up with a huge block on the defensive end late in the contest. At 6-10, Williams is also a surprisingly capable ball handler and has already produced 17 assists through three game. That type of assist production from a big man, if sustained, could make him an incredibly coveted fantasy commodity, even in nationwide formats.

Available for opener Williams (undisclosed) will be available for Tuesday's season opener against Mercer, Jon Rothstein of CBS Sports reports.
Impact It's unclear what's currently affecting Williams or why he was held out of Arkansas' latest exhibition, but it doesn't seem like it's a long-term concern. The 6-10 center started five games for the Razorbacks last season, including the last three of the year. His season high in scoring (13) came in SEC play in a matchup against Alabama on Feb. 24, while he hit exactly 10 rebounds on four separate occasions.

Hopeful to be ready for opener Head coach Eric Musselman said that he is hopeful Williams (undisclosed) will be able to play in the season opener next Tuesday against Mercer, Jon Rothstein of CBS Sports reports.
Impact Williams did not play in the team's exhibition game against North Texas. There is still no word as to what type of injury Williams is dealing with. The 6-10 big man is a strong piece in the middle of the lineup that Arkansas will likely struggle on the interior without.

Sits out Saturday scrimmage Williams (undisclosed) did not take the court in Friday's 68-60 exhibition victory over North Texas.
Impact Not much was said about Williams' absence outside of Scottie Bordelon of the Arkansas Democrat-Gazette reporting that he was dressed out in warmups before spending the rest of the contest on the bench in sweats. The absence of Williams forced Arkansas to go with a much smaller lineup, and the Razorbacks were out-rebounded 42 to 28 as a result. It's unclear if this is a matter of rest leading up to the Nov. 9 opener, or if something else is potentially in play.

Won't play Tuesday Williams will miss Tuesday's game against South Carolina due to COVID-19 protocol, Nikki Chavanelle of Rivals.com reports.
Impact Williams had carved out a major role for the Hawgs off the bench, averaging 25.4 minutes per contest over the last five seasons. He has one more chance to take the floor during the regular season before the SEC Tournament fires up.

Could see limited minutes Williams (knee) is expected to play Tuesday against Kentucky but could be on a minutes restriction, Tom Murphy of the Arkansas Democrat-Gazette reports.
Impact The big man played just nine minutes his last time out and hasn't played double-digit minutes in any of his last four outings. Arkansas has had a full week between games, which has given the injured Razorbacks added time to get healthy. Still, Williams is a risk for limited minutes Tuesday.
FEBRUARY 9, 2021 • ROTOWIRE
Does little in practice Williams was unable to do much of anything during practice Thursday, Scottie Bordelon of the Arkansas Democrat-Gazette reports.
Impact Williams has reportedly been playing through an injury, so it's not exactly surprising that he's taking it easy in practice between games. He has some extra time to rest up his bumps and bruises with Saturday's game versus Texas A&M postponed. The Razorbacks are next scheduled to take the floor Tuesday against Kentucky.

Starting Saturday Williams is starting Saturday's game against Alabama.
Impact Williams returned to a bench role over the past two contests, but he'll make his second career start in Saturday's matchup. He'll take the place of Connor Vanover in the starting five.
JANUARY 16, 2021 • ROTOWIRE
Coming off bench Saturday Williams isn't starting Saturday's game against Georgia.
Impact Williams made his first career start Wednesday, but he only totaled six points and two rebounds over 14 minutes. He'll return to a bench role Saturday with Vance Jackson starting in his place.

Starting Wednesday Williams is in the starting lineup for Wednesday's game against Tennessee, Bob Holt of the Arkansas Democrat-Gazette reports.
Impact The freshman will make his first career start when the Razorbacks battle the Volunteers on Wednesday. Williams is currently averaging 3.1 points and 3.8 rebounds in eight appearances.
JANUARY 6, 2021 • ROTOWIRE
Contending for starting job Williams is contending for a spot in the starting five ahead of the regular season, Jon Rothstein of CBS Sports reports.
Impact Williams has apparently impressed enough during practice to be considered for a starting role with the Razorbacks during his freshman season. Vance Jackson joined the team as a graduate transfer in April and will likely begin the season as the starting center, but Williams could certainly be considered for the role if Jackson struggles early on.
