Reading (Penn.) Wyomissing five-star interior offensive lineman Jven Williams is one of the top blockers in the 2023 class. The Penn State commit showcased why on Friday.

Against Reading (Penn.) Berks Catholic, Williams moved to his right after the ball was snapped. As a defender approached, he knocked him down with a hard hit as Wyomissing scored a touchdown.

Williams is a four-star and the No. 58 overall prospect in the 2023 cycle, according to the On3 Consensus, a complete and equally weighted industry-generated average that utilizes all four major recruiting media companies. He is also the No. 3 interior offensive lineman and No. 1 player in Pennsylvania.

On3 rates Williams higher than other recruiting services, according to the Industry Comparison. Per the 2023 On300, he is the No. 10 overall prospect and No. 1 interior offensive lineman.

The 6-foot-5, 290 pound prospect committed to the Nittany Lions on Feb. 5. He is one of the top players in Penn State’s 2023 recruiting class, which ranks No. 12 in the 2023 On3 Consensus Team Recruiting Rankings and No. 2 in the Big Ten.

Williams has an On3 NIL Valuation of $142K. The On3 NIL Valuation is an index that looks to set the standard market value for both high school and college-level athletes. The NIL valuation does not act as a tracker of the value of NIL deals an athlete has completed to date. It rather signifies an athlete’s value at a certain moment in time.

Jven Williams On3 Scouting Summary

The following is the On3 Scouting Summary for Jven Williams:

“Rapidly ascending offensive lineman who oozes long-term upside. Flashes high-end traits as a run blocker. An easy, athletic mover at the second level, where he excels as a puller. Has potentially elite play strength coupled with the athletic ability. Shows budding technical proficiency with his hand placement and understanding of run schemes. Has the length and feet to play tackle but will need to continue honing his pass set technique at the next level after playing in a run-heavy offense in high school.

“Validates his athleticism and explosive power as a top thrower in both the shot put and discus. Had a personal best shot put toss of over 57 feet as a sophomore in addition to winning the state title in the discus. Much younger than most of his peers in the 2023 cycle and will not turn 18 until late August of his freshman year of college.”
