A 6-foot-2 standout at the Las Vegas high school, Williams is the daughter of former Las Vegas Aces general manager and Women's Basketball Hall of Famer Natalie Williams.

As a sophomore Nation broke out onto the scene averaging 17.3 points and 10.4 rebounds per game along with 3.5 assists, 2.8 steals and 2.1 blocks en route to a state championship. She upped nearly every stat as a junior averaging 21.9 points and 12.9 rebounds. On the international scene, she also played a pivotal role in leading the FIBA U16 women's team to the 2025 AmeriCup, and last year was part of the FIBA U17 team that won the Women's World Cup. During the World Cup, she averaged a team-high 9.1 rebounds and 8 points per game.
