Jonas Williams: Chasing Records as Illinois' Top QB Prospect

September 2, 2025
Jonas Williams needs just a few hundred yards to break the Illinois career passing record as a senior at Lincoln-Way East.

Jonas Williams threw for over 2,900 yards and 42 touchdowns last season. He enters his senior year at Lincoln-Way East High School in Frankfort, Illinois, within striking distance of the state's career passing records.

Williams made the Elite 11 and carries a 4.0 GPA alongside his football accolades. He's committed to USC, though his focus remains on team success—a mindset shaped by his grandfather, Michigan legend Lloyd Carr. The individual records will come; Williams is chasing something bigger.
