The last few months have been quite hectic for Jonas Williams.
Williams, rated as a four-star quarterback recruit by Rivals.com as he heads into his junior season, has experienced a recruiting whirlwind this spring, receiving scholarship offers from just about every major college football program. Alabama was added to that list on June 19.
Oh yeah, and Williams is also settling in at his new high school. In January, he transferred from Bolingbrook to Lincoln-Way East.
“I think me and my parents have done a good job balancing it all,” Williams said. “I’m not too caught up in my recruitment. It’s a good thing on my side, but football is a team sport and I’m focused on building that chemistry with my teammates so we can win games.
“I’m balancing it right now, and when the time comes to make a (college) decision, it will happen.”
Williams emerged as a star as a freshman at Bolingbrook, throwing for 2,737 yards and 37 touchdowns. Last fall, the Raiders struggled to a 3-6 record and Williams battled injuries, still ending up with over 2,900 yards and 31 TDs.
Now, he’s ready to help Lincoln-Way East chase a state championship.
“I came here in January, and it was pretty smooth for the most part,” Williams said. “I didn’t have any issues. I got along with my teammates and they welcomed me in with open arms, so it was good.”
Senior tight end Trey Zvonar, who recently committed to Miami of Ohio and is the son of Lincoln-Way East coach Rob Zvonar, said it’s been easy to develop a strong relationship with his new quarterback.
“It’s been great so far,” Trey said. “Our connection has been really good since he came early in January. Getting to know him and getting to play with him has been nice.
