Jason Williams played college football at the University of Connecticut. He was a Big East All-Conference selection and led the huskies to their first ever Bowl Game victory in 2004. His collegiate stats total 1500 yards receiving and 12 touchdowns. He still holds the record for the longest touchdown reception in UConn history, snatching a 90 yard bomb from Dan Orlovsky against the Temple Owls in 2004.

Williams was signed to the Washington Redskins Camp in 2006 and eventually landed in the Arena Football with the Philadelphia Soul. He also was the wide receivers coach at Glenn Mills High School in Pennsylvania.
