Ball High adds another athlete to its pantheon of extraordinary football players. Jonah Williams, a five-star recruit and the No. 8 prospect in ESPN 300, is the best outside linebacker in the class of 2025. Williams recently committed to the University of Texas. He chose Texas over his other colleges like Texas A&M, USC, LSU, and Oregon.
Williams is also a great pitcher and outfielder on the baseball diamond, which he is expected to play at the next level as well. “It’s 50-50, baseball and football,” he told ESPN. “The opportunities [at Texas] with life after football were part of my choice. The coaching staff really made me feel comfortable about my decision.”
According to ESPN ranking. Williams is Texas’ highest-rated commit since QB Arch Manning from the class of 2023 and their highest-rated linebacker pledge since Jordan Hicks who was the fourth ranked prospect in 2010.
The 6-foot-five, 205-pound linebacker started his senior year hot helping his team to a starting record of 3-0. When Williams reaches campus in 2025, he is expected to began his career at safety
