Jonah Williams' size, athleticism and ball skills remind us of Jeremy Chinn. Williams is a much more established high school prospect than Chinn was.

Jonah Williams Scouting Summary
Charles Power
07/17/24

Jumbo safety prospect with the size, athleticism and playmaking instincts to be a potential queen on the chessboard for defensive coordinators. Has linebacker size with the athleticism of a top defensive back. Measured in at 6-foot-3 ⅛, 206 pounds with 32.25-inch arms at the On3 Elite Series prior to his senior season. Registers as a top athlete in the combine setting. A true three-phase playmaker on Friday nights, lining up at safety, wide receiver and as a return man. An easy, fluid mover with a great top gear. Covers ground in a hurry. Shows outstanding range in coverage. Covers from hash to sideline with ease. Has high-level ball skills with the ability to track the football over his shoulder. Had four interceptions as a junior along with eight pass breakups. Capable of covering tight ends and receivers out of the slot. Eraser athleticism with his ability to run sideline-to-sideline in pursuit. Has the skill level to be a wide receiver prospect if he wanted. Scored 13 touchdowns on offense as a senior and ran back two kicks in eight games. A two-sport standout, as a talented baseball player who throws 94 MPH as a left-handed pitcher. Physicality is adequate, but not elite even though he showed progress on that front as a senior. Has more of a true free safety skill set despite his size. Missed a chunk of his senior season with a broken collarbone. Rare movement skills and size give him the upside to be a game-changing movable piece at the college and pro level.

Personal Life

Jonah Williams is the definition of a two-sport star. Along with being named the district MVP in football during his sophomore season, he's also widely regarded as one of the top baseball talents in the Lone Star State. In football, he returned three interceptions for touchdowns and four punts for scores in 2022. As a sophomore, the centerfielder batted .474 with 10 doubles and five triples. Following the baseball season, Williams was an unanimous all-district first-team honoree, a first-team all-county outfielder and was selected for and played in the Greater Houston Baseball Coaches Association Futures Game. "I don't know which sport I like more – football or baseball," Williams said. "I get a lot of questions about it, but I don't know which sport I like more." Williams' older brother, Nick, was drafted in the second round of the 2012 MLB draft and made his debut with the Phillies in 2017. “There has been a lot of competition,” Williams told VYPE about how his family has made him a better athlete. “I just use it for fuel and not get caught slacking. It’s good knowing they're there to motivate me and compete with me day in and day out.”
