Jonah Williams Scouting Summary

On3’s Scouting and Rankings team writes this about Williams as a prospect.

“Rangy safety prospect who excels playing in space. Has the long speed and fluidity to function in space as a zone or man defender in the passing game. Has the frame of a linebacker with the athleticism and skill set of a safety. Measured in at 6-foot-3, 210 pounds during summer campus visits and has plenty of room to fill out. Tested well in explosive drills during camp settings.

“Impressive baseball prospect as well as a pitcher and outfielder. Sideline to sideline speed is easy for him, covers ground in a hurry. One of the more physically impressive recruits in the 2025 recruiting cycle. High upside prospect whose best football is ahead of him.”
