Where does Texas A&M stand in the race for 2025 5-star ATH Jonah Williams?

2025 5-star safety Jonah Williams has received a prediction to land with Texas

The race to land a commitment from one of the top defensive prospects in the 2025 recruiting class will end on Saturday, August 24th, as 5-star athlete/safety Jonah Williams will choose between USC, Texas, Oregon, LSU, and Texas A&M after a long summer of visits.

For those “in the know,” Williams’ trajectory has changed throughout the month. Still, after taking a late unofficial visit to the Texas Longhorns on July 25, On3 recruiting analyst Steve Wiltfong has predicted that Williams will land in Austin, Texas, as the rumored momentum from the 40 acres may come to fruition.

However, Williams took to X with an interesting comment regarding Wiltfong’s prediction, stating, “Yay, more predictions..” which could be something or nothing, but this does not mean that Texas A&M is out of the picture before Saturday’s announcement, as Mike Elko has continued to keep in contact with Williams this month.

247Sports recruiting analyst Mike Roach also feels that Texas is slightly in the lead but finished out his recent article with a reminder that Texas A&M head coach Mike Elko and his staff should, in no way, be counted out. However, placing LSU in the mix, three programs are coming down to the wire.

“As of this moment, our best intel leads us to a head-to-head duel between Texas and LSU, with Texas A&M still lurking as a presence.”

Jonah Williams recorded 474 receiving yards and eight touchdowns, 58 tackles, four interceptions (three returned for touchdowns), four tackles for loss, and four punt return touchdowns on special teams during his 2023 junior season.

According to 247Sports, Williams is currently positioned as the 7th-ranked prospect in the 2025 recruiting class, the No. 1-ranked linebacker prospect, and the 3rd-ranked prospect in Texas.
