Texas safety signee Jonah Williams ranked No. 15 in final 2025 On300 rankings

Steve Sarkisian and his staff have built the No. 1 class in the On3 Industry Team Recruiting Rankings for the class of 2025. A key piece of that puzzle is Galveston (Texas) Ball safety Jonah Williams, a five-star prospect ranked No. 15 overall in the final 2025 On300 rankings on Thursday.

The final edition of the 2025 On300 features 32 five-star prospects, up from 25 in the previous update in November.

The 6-foot-3.25, 206-pound Williams committed to in-state Texas on Aug. 24 — a month before being named a five-star in the September update to the On300. He chose the Longhorns over the likes of Oregon, LSU, Texas A&M, Oklahoma and more.

“The coaching staff is great!” Williams told On3 upon making his decision public. “I mean they check all the boxes that I want in a college.”

“I’m really impressed with Coach Sarkisian and the method he’s beginning to accomplish things. I think all the players are very in tune to what he’s trying to teach there. I’m very impressed with that.”

Williams missed the end of his senior season with a broken collarbone, but managed to record 28 tackles, two interceptions, a fumble recovery and two pass breakups in eight games. Over his high school career, Williams accounted for 172 tackles, 10 interceptions and 16 passes defended.

Williams brings a multi-sport skillset to Austin

Over the summer, On3 named Williams a ‘Future Freak’ — a prospect who displays a particularly impressive combination of size, athleticism or multi-sport ability.

“Jonah Williams has the athleticism of a top defensive back in the frame of a linebacker,” On3 Director of Scouting and Rankings Charles Power wrote. “He doubles as a talented baseball player with the potential of being a two-sport star at the college level.”

Williams also drew high praise from Power with impressive performances on the field early in his senior season.

“Williams made big plays in all three phases in his team’s 54-26 win over an overmatched Manvel (Texas) High squad. Williams showed his elite athleticism at 6-foot-3.5, 205 pounds, running back the opening kick. He then blocked a PAT and scored four touchdowns on offense – working as a receiver and wildcat quarterback. Williams’ combination of size, athleticism and playmaking ability makes him one of the more versatile and unique prospects in the 2025 cycle.”
