Texas secured a commitment from one of the most freakish athletes in the nation, as Galveston Ball 2025 S/LB Jonah Williams (6'3, 205), the No. 4-rated football recruit in Texas for the class of 2025, has announced his decision to play for Steve Sarkisian's program.

"They just had a winning season (and) made it to the playoffs," Williams said. "Coach Gideon is a really good coach. He coaches the players well."

Williams is a dynamic athlete who excels not only on the football field but also on the baseball diamond and the track and his prowess in multiple sports helped him earn the top spot in "247Sport's 2025 Freaks List," and Galveston Head Coach Sheldon Bennight agrees.

"He's a sight for sore eyes because he does so many things well and wants to do them all," Bennight said.

The Williams family's athletic pedigree runs deep. His older brother, Nick, made his MLB debut with the Philadelphia Phillies in 2017, while his other brother, Seth, currently plays baseball at Galveston College.

Growing up in such an environment has undoubtedly shaped Jonah's approach to sports, but his 22.24 200-meter speed sets him apart.

One of the most memorable moments of his junior season came in Ball's lone 5A Division I playoff game, where Williams returned an interception 101 yards for a touchdown. His speed left a lasting impression on everyone who witnessed it.

"I swear you could feel the breeze he was running by so fast," Bennight said about one of Williams' eight interception returns for TDs. "That's just what it felt like to see a body that big run that fast. That was something special."

Williams has set his sights on achieving big goals in 2024, building off a junior campaign where he collected over 117 tackles and five interceptions to earn Preseason DCTF Super Team honors.

"They're getting the full package, Bennight said. "He checks all the boxes: character, discipline, and obviously, the physical part. His upbringing means he's not going to do anything to hurt your program. He's going to represent you well, and he's going to be a kid that does the right thing."
