In his senior year at Farmingdale State, Williams was named First Team All-Skyline after leading the team to a Skyline championship and its first-ever appearance in the NCAA Division III Championship. He had held the school record for low round after shooting a 70 in his first match with the team at St. George's Country Club. For his academics, Williams was twice named a Chancellor's Scholar-Athlete award winner during both his years at FSC.

Williams graduated from Farmingdale State in December 2007 with a Bachelor's Degree in Business Management, and received his Master's Degree in Sport Management from SUNY Cortland in 2018.
