Kaine Williams was a four-star defensive back out of Marrero, Louisiana, who was a member of the Alabama 2021 recruiting class. According to recruiting website Rivals, Willaims was the seventh-ranked prospect in the state, the 11th ranked safety, and the 172nd ranked prospect for the entire 2021 class.
