On3 5-star Countdown: No. 11, offensive lineman Jven Williams

With the 2022 recruiting cycle all but wrapped up for most of the nation’s top programs, the recruiting world has turned its eyes toward the class of 2023.

With a bevy of notable quarterbacks, a geographic diversity among the nation’s top players and plenty of other notable storylines, the 2023 cycle is shaping up to be one of the most interesting in recent memory.

And, per usual, the players at the top of the class will be among the most highly-recruited in the nation. The latest edition of On3’s 2023 rankings features 14 players with a coveted five-star rating, up from a previous 11 five-star players. Next up on the countdown is the No. 11 overall prospect in the 2023 cycle, offensive lineman Jven Williams of Reading (Pa.) Wyomissing.

Jven Williams Scouting Summary

“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 he will not turn 18 until late August of his freshman year of college.” — On3 Director of Scouting and Rankings Charles Power
