The 2026 season marks Seth Williams' sixth season as Hobart's receivers coach and academic success coordinator.
Over the past five seasons, Williams has mentored six All-Liberty League receivers, including two-time honoree Johnny Harding, who tied for the league lead with 10 receiving touchdowns and finished third with 768 receiving yards.

Williams came to Geneva with more than a decade of coaching experience. He has worked with nearly every position group on both sides of the ball during his career, beginning as a student assistant coach at his alma mater, St. John Fisher. Williams graduated in 2010 with a bachelor's degree in history. He continued his education and coaching career, joining the Utica staff as a graduate assistant coach. Williams worked with the Pioneers’ tight ends, wide receivers and kick returners. He earned a master's degree in adolescent education in 2015.
