Williams played in all 12 games in his freshman season and was credited with 27 tackles and five sacks in 2021. Last season, Williams was the Buckeyes' most consistent linesman, recording 54 total tackles, 10 tackles for loss, three sacks, and a forced fumble in 2023. In three years with Ohio State Buckeyes, Tyleik has played in 35 games and accumulated 90 total tackles, 19 tackles for loss, nine sacks, and a forced fumble.
