Jonah Williams 2019 NFL Draft Profile<\/strong><\/h1>\n

Jonah Williams<\/a><\/strong> is a perfect example of a high school prospect who lived up to the hype and then some. The Folsom, CA native was among the top recruits at any position in 2016. Rivals.com rated him the 24th-best player in the nation that year and the number two offensive tackle prospect. Despite the distance between his hometown and Tuscaloosa, he committed relatively early to Alabama. Williams was the second player to commit to Nick Saban<\/strong> as part of his consensus number one 2016 class.<\/p>\n

Williams made an immediate impact, emerging as one of the top true freshmen in all of college football. That’s no easy feat at Alabama given how many talented upperclassmen exist on the roster. He earned Freshman All-American honors from USA Today and ESPN and also garnered a spot on the SEC’s All-Freshman team. Despite coming up short in the national title game, William’s run-blocking prowess helped the Crimson Tide rush for 221 yards.<\/p>\n

After playing at right tackle as a freshman, Williams slid over to the left-hand side of the line during his next two seasons. Over the course of that time period, he cemented his status as an elite blindside protector. He helped the Tide win its fifth national title under Saban as a sophomore en route to first-team All-SEC honors. And even though they came up short against Clemson this past season, Williams further established himself as a highly coveted draft prospect. He finished the season as a unanimous first-team All-American and won the Jacobs Blocking Trophy, given to the SEC’s top offensive lineman. It’s no surprise then that Williams declared for the draft a year early.<\/p>\n
