Galveston (Texas) Ball 4-star+ safety Jonah Williams and parents visited Texas today.

Williams spent a lot of time with Steve Sarkisian, Blake Gideon and the defensive staff. 

Of course, baseball is part of the equation with the Williams recruitment. Williams, 6-3 and 205 pounds, was not able to meet with the Jim Schlossnagle or the staff in person today as the staff is out of town. He did have a FaceTime call with Schloss and staff members today.

Williams will head to LSU tomorrow ahead of an August 14 decision. 

Texas put their best foot forward, and believes they are in contention. Where Texas truly sits, they don’t yet have a feel for inside the facility. 

Not sure why some outlets are reporting he “met” with the baseball staff. The entire staff is out recruiting. 

“Met” meaning FaceTime Covid style meet lol. 

Hard to get excited about this recruitment since he’ll more than likely never make it to a campus because of the MLB draft. 

He was leaning aggy for awhile wouldn’t he have already met schloss? 

What’s keeping him from doing a Ricky/Ced B move and getting drafted, playing in the summer, and stilll playing football here in the fall?

Thoe guys didn't have the legit baseball ceiling that a LHP throwing 94 has.

Can’t score goals without shots on goal.

True, I thought he was projected as an outfielder though? Much tougher route there if so…

baseball is never a guarantee. tougher to make it

@Gerry HamiltonThere’s a lot of LSU buzz there I rather lose to them because he we won’t face him probably until year 3. And the have a great baseball program with a robust NIL so I believe LSU is the Pick wish it was Texas though.
