Impact Williams was a dominant presence for the Wolfpack once again, and his contributions were absolutely needed in a game that proved to be tougher than expected against VCU.

Williams has scored 19 or more points in two of his first three outings this season, and while it's early in the campaign, all signs point to Williams being one of the Wolfpack's go-to options on offense in 2025-26 as long as he stays healthy.

Great during exhibition Williams (concussion) logged 16 points (5-7 FG, 1-3 3Pt, 5-6 FT), seven rebounds, two steals, one assist and one block during North Carolina State's 88-86 win Sunday against South...

Impact Williams is one of three players who scored 16 points for North Carolina State on Sunday. Though the Wolf Pack's 2025-26 season will likely see him step up scoring-wise, their latest exhibition suggests they have other options who can excel, diminishing his value. Still, Williams' value comes in multiple forms, as indicated by his team-best seven rebounds against South Carolina. Each of his NCAA seasons includes at least 5.5 rebounds per game, so that will be the minimum expected from him come 2025-26.

Tabbed preseason POTY Williams (concussion) was voted ACC Preseason Player of the Year ahead of the 2025-26 campaign, Jon Rothstein of CBS Sports reports.

Impact Williams transferred in from Texas Tech for his senior season after averaging 15.1 points, 5.5 rebounds, 3.6 assists and 1.3 steals per game in 2024-25. The standout forward will be the WolfPack's focal point in the upcoming season, which isn't exactly a surprise considering his pedigree. Williams entered concussion protocols in late September due to an elbow to the head during practice, but he should be a full go for an Oct. 26 exhibition against South Carolina.

Impact According to 247Sports, Williams' concussion comes from a fall to the ground and an elbow to the head. The good news is that if all goes well for Williams' road to recovery, he should be healthy relatively soon. If anything, Williams' latest update may be a mild scare but news worth monitoring nonetheless. North Carolina State's preseason practices and game are approaching with October just around the corner.

Will be focal point Williams will be the 2025-26 Wolf Pack's focal point during their season, according to Jon Rothstein of CBS Sports.

Impact Williams, already favored to be ACC Preseason Player of the Year, will have a lot on his plate for the 2025-26 Wolf Pack's season. While with Texas Tech, whose last team made the Elite Eight, he logged 15.1 points, 5.5 rebounds, 3.6 assists, 1.4 three-pointers made and 1.3 steals per game. Under pressure, Williams has experience as a top option, so the question is not if he can step up but how much he can step up.
