=Sophomore season=

Heading into his sophomore year, Williams was expected to shoulder a much larger role for Missouri with the losses of guards Jabari Brown, Jordan Clarkson, and Earnest Ross, who combined to average more than 50 points per game, as well as head coach Frank Haith. Williams was Missouri's top returning scorer, rebounder, and shot-blocker. However, tough times were ahead for Williams as he suffered a partial meniscus tear in his right knee during the preseason of early October 2014.{{cite web|title=Missouri forward Johnathan Williams still battling knee injury|url=http://www.kansascity.com/sports/college/sec/university-of-missouri/article3425301.html|date=October 28, 2014}}{{cite web|title=Missouri forward Johnathan Williams III out with torn meniscus|url=http://www.cbssports.com/collegebasketball/eye-on-college-basketball/24733202/missouri-forward-johnathan-williams-iii-out-with-torn-meniscus|date=October 1, 2014}}

Despite leading Missouri in scoring (11.9 points), rebounding (7.1 rebounds), and shot-blocking (0.6) per game during his sophomore season, Williams was hampered all season by a torn meniscus, and the Tigers finished with the most losses and longest losing streak (13) in school history with a 9–23 record.{{cite web|title=Missouri's Johnathan Williams III will transfer|url=http://www.kansascity.com/sports/college/sec/university-of-missouri/article17015117.html|date=March 31, 2015}}{{cite web|title=Mizzou's Williams decides to transfer|url=http://www.stltoday.com/sports/college/mizzou/mizzou-s-williams-decides-to-transfer/article_9bbd0fa8-bead-5ebb-bef0-7d829de37baa.html|date=March 31, 2015}}

=Junior season=

{{quote box|width=23em|align=right|quote="Johnathan is a very high character young man, and really good academically,” head coach Mark Few said. “He’s a proven commodity at high Division I level in scoring and rebounding, and he fits a real need for where our team and personnel makeup will be a year from now.

It’s a perfect scenario with being able to work with Nigel [Williams-Goss] and also, day-in and day-out, go against Kyle [Wiltjer], Domantas [Sabonis] and Przemek [Karnowski].

Missouri restricted Williams from transferring to 25 schools, including every SEC and Big-12 school, along with Arizona and Illinois.{{cite web|title=Report: Missouri transfer Johnathan Williams III restricted from 25 schools|url=http://www.sportingnews.com/ncaa-basketball-news/4641048-missouri-hoops-transfer-restricted-from-going-to-25-schools-jonathan-williams-iii|date=April 8, 2015}} Williams took official visits to Gonzaga, Georgetown, and SMU, but made the decision to transfer to Gonzaga.
