Jonah Williams is the definition of a two-sport star. 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. In football, he returned three interceptions for touchdowns and four punts for scores in 2022. As a sophomore, the centerfielder batted .474 with 10 doubles and five triples. Following the baseball season, Williams was an unanimous all-district first-team honoree, a first-team all-county outfielder and was selected for and played in the Greater Houston Baseball Coaches Association Futures Game. "I don't know which sport I like more – football or baseball," Williams said. "I get a lot of questions about it, but I don't know which sport I like more." Williams' older brother, Nick, was drafted in the second round of the 2012 MLB draft and made his debut with the Phillies in 2017. “There has been a lot of competition,” Williams told VYPE about how his family has made him a better athlete. “I just use it for fuel and not get caught slacking. It’s good knowing they're there to motivate me and compete with me day in and day out.”
