Two-sport stars aren’t new to LSU. Many will remember Chad Jones, who was All-SEC on the gridiron and won a national championship on the baseball field. More recently, Maurice Hampton was a member of both squads.
That’s the vision LSU athletics tried to sell to five-star safety Jonah Williams this weekend.
“Jonah Williams is the definition of a two-sport star,” On3’s profile reads, “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.”
On his visit, Williams threw on an LSU baseball uniform for a photoshoot. If playing both sports is valued by Williams, that could boost LSU’s chances in this recruitment. Few schools offer the high profile LSU does on the football field and baseball field.
According to the On3 Prediction Machine, Oklahoma is the leader right now with Texas A&M in second place.

All four major recruiting sites rank Williams as the top safety in the 2025 class. 247Sports is the highest on his talents, ranking Williams as the No. 7 overall recruit in the class.
LSU’s 2025 class is one of the best in the country right now, but there’s still a way to go. The Tigers have 11 commitments, including the nation’s top recruit QB Bryce Underwood.
