Williams pointed toured some key factors which led to his verbal commitment to Northern Iowa.
"Northern Iowa definitely had a plan for me and also just always brought a lot of excitement and energy when it came to me as a recruiter them. The coaches are just very genuine people who have had a lot of success. They have just always gone above and beyond when it came to me and my recruiting process. UNI also has sent a ton of guys into the NFL and head coach Mark Farley is an experienced coach with a lot of success and connections to guys around the NFL. Northern Iowa recruited me as a nickel and feel I can add a bit more size and strength at the next level and want to see me at 215-220 pounds. Northern Iowa's trademark for years has been it's defense and how hard they always play and that's exactly the type of team I wanted to play for in college."

So what can the UNI Father fans expect from Kaiser Williams?
"Northern Iowa is getting a hard worker who will grow as a leader that's very coachable. I'm a winner who will also be there for my team either good or bad."
