Indiana football continued its reload in the secondary on Sunday with the commitment of Montana State transfer cornerback Carson Williams<\/a>.<\/p>\n

Standing at 6-foot-1 and 165 pounds, Williams made his commitment to head coach Curt Cignetti and the Hoosiers after a weekend visit to Indiana. Williams has three years of eligibility remaining.<\/p>\n

Williams, who hails from Houston, Texas, amassed 46 total tackles, eight pass breakups and 2.5 tackles for loss in 2025 with the Bobcats. He also forced and recovered a fumble this past season.<\/p>\n

The 2025 season was Williams\u2019 second at the college level after he redshirted in 2024 as a true freshman. <\/p>\n

Entering this portal cycle, cornerback was a large question mark for the Hoosiers. D\u2019Angelo Ponds<\/a> could potentially leave early for the NFL Draft and depth corner Amariyun Knighten<\/a> has already entered the portal, but outside of those two, Indiana returns everyone else at cornerback.<\/p>\n

Williams now joins a 2026 cornerback room that features returners Jamari Sharpe<\/a>, Ryland Gandy<\/a> and Jaylen Bell<\/a>, while Ponds\u2019 decision on his future is expected to come following Indiana\u2019s run in the College Football Playoff.<\/p>\n

Williams is rated as the No. 795 overall transfer and the No. 91-ranked cornerback in the portal.<\/p>\n
