The Baltimore, Maryland, native appeared in all 32 games for Ohio State this season. He started 29 in place of the injured Keita Bates-Diop, and scored 9.4 points per game.
Williams becomes the second Buckeye to declare early, joining center Trevor Thompson — who is also on the aforementioned list. If he doesn't hire an agent, Williams has until the May 24 deadline to withdraw his name and return to the team next fall.
The 2017 NBA Draft is June 22.
