Jonah WIlliams schedules visit to Texas

Galveston (Texas) Ball 4-star safety Jonah Williams is scheduled to be back on the Forty Acres.

Williams, 6-3 and 205 pounds, told OnTexasFootball Wednesday night that he will make an unofficial visit April 6. That weekend is shaping up to look like a huge visit weekend with more than 10 4-star prospects scheduled to attend.

The two-sport star that is currently on the mound and in the outfield for the Ball High Tors baseball team told OTF he also plans to make an official visit to Texas in June as well. Texas head coach Steve Sarkisian and safeties coach and area recruiter Blake Gideon are in constant contact with Williams and family. 

The Oklahoma Sooners are also a lock for a June official visit. Williams is also scheduled to make an official visit to Oregon May 17-19. 

Before those June OV's, Williams has a packed spring visit schedule that begin this weekend in Baton Rouge.

We know he doesn't want to play LB, but does he have a preference for WR or Safety?  This one seems like a Taylor Tatum feel at this point with OU baseball, unfortunately.

Safety.

Oklahoma leads headed into the spring for sure. 

Long ways to go in the NIL game. Will be fun to follow.

Only difference with Tatum and Jonah Williams is this ... Texas wasn't making a push for Tatum at any point. 

Texas wants Jonah Williams!

[Red Five]

6'3" 205 lbs. as a junior in high school. As long as he doesn't eat any food at all for the next five or so years he can stick at safety.

Gerry can you rank these LB’ers… just your opinion.

 

Pettijohn

Barnes

Tagoa’i

Williams, A

I'm leaving Jonah Williams out of LB for now ... 

MIKE - Barnes then Pettijohn 

OLB - 1A Tagoa'i and 1B Pettijohn then Cunningham/Javar Thomas and Anthony Williams 

Pettijohn is a sure fire due because of his versatility. 

Elijah Barnes is interesting because he could end up 6-3, 250-255 one day ... he could be a guy that also rushes off the edge

If Texas gets two of three out of ... Pettijohn, Barnes and Tagoa'i, tremendous class no matter who the third or fourth would be.

I'd love it if Michael Terry was comfortable slotting into LB as well.

Well Texas has a baseball team, too.  But the reality is that football is a year-round participation and preparation sport now. The days of dual sport athletes are basically over.

Terry has been adamant about wanting to play wide receiver.

Tatum and Peoples were no higher than 3rd on Choice's RB board.  In fact there was someone else who was #3, so fourth and fifth.

For me, Choice's RB board is the only one that matters.  Gibson was on a couple and Clark was not on any of the pundit's Top Ten RB boards.

Tagoa’i plays super fast and amazingly under control.  Faster than Justin Williams if you ask me.  What the hell is he going to be when he’s north of 215 lbs.  My guess… a super bad ass.

Poor, poor mans Derrick Johnson if he maximizes IMO. He’s that level talent with snap anticipation, range, playing speed, physicality on contact, length, ability to drop in coverage etc…
