Louisville 4-star CB commit Aaron Williams records pick-six
Corona (Calif.) St. John Bosco four-star cornerback Aaron Williams continued his strong senior season on Saturday night against San Mateo (Calif.) Serra. During the CIF Open Division title contest, the Louisville commit notched a pick-six.
A pass from Serra’s quarterback went off a receiver’s hands and right towards Williams, who caught the ball. He then took off down the left sideline, diving towards the pylon for a touchdown.
Williams is the No. 159 overall prospect and No. 21 cornerback in the 2023 cycle, according to the On3 Consensus, a complete and equally weighted industry-generated average that utilizes all four major recruiting media companies. He is also the No. 11 player in California.
“I fell in love when I was on that visit early in March,” Williams told On3’s Chad Simmons on April 14. “I went into that visit not knowing what to expect and Louisville felt like home right away.
“It is a special place. I felt the love, I loved the atmosphere, the people felt like family, and I got that feeling. When I felt the way I felt, I knew where I wanted to be.”
The 6-foot-2, 180-pound defensive back is currently the second-highest-rated recruit in the Cardinals’ 2023 recruiting class. Louisville’s group is No. 21 in the 2023 On3 Consensus Team Recruiting Rankings and No. 4 in the ACC.
Williams has an On3 NIL Valuation of $40K. The On3 NIL Valuation is an index that looks to set the standard market value for both high school and college-level athletes. The NIL valuation does not act as a tracker of the value of NIL deals an athlete has completed to date. It rather signifies an athlete’s value at a certain moment in time.
Aaron Williams On3 Scouting Summary
The following is the On3 Scouting Summary for Aaron Williams:
“Smooth operator in coverage who makes plays on the ball consistently and doesn’t mind coming downhill to make plays in the run game as well. Instinctive player. Tremendous job getting his head around and finding the football in phase. Length allows him to recover and play through receivers’ hands with ease. Lacks ideal twitch and explosiveness. Jumped a 20-foot-8 long jump during his sophomore track and field season. Should physically develop once he is in a collegiate strength and conditioning program. High floor prospect with NFL upside.”
