Five-star linebacker recruit Justin Williams is high school teammates with four-star Georgia commitment Joseph Jonah-Ajonye. The dynamic duo plays high school football together for Oak Ridge High School in Conroe, Texas. Will they play together in college?
Justin Williams’ recruitment looks to be a race between the Georgia Bulldogs and Oregon Ducks. Williams took an official visit to Athens, Georgia, from June 23-25. The five-star visited Oregon the weekend of June 16.
Justin Williams is the No. 1 linebacker in the 2024 cycle and the No. 3 player in Texas. The 6-foot-2, 205-pound linebacker is ranked the No. 13 player in the 2024 recruiting cycle. Williams runs track and has excellent speed.
247Sports projects that Oregon and former Georgia defensive coordinator Dan Lanning will sign Williams. However, it should be noted that Williams’ Twitter page primarily has references to Georgia and very few mentions of Oregon. Williams may be thinking of playing college football with Joseph Jonah-Ajonye.
It is hard too read too much into these sort of things. We do know that Georgia has a very strong recruiting pitch for linebackers due to the Dawgs’ recent success on the field and in the NFL draft.
Kirby Smart and Georgia recruited the linebacker position at an elite level in the class of 2023. The Bulldogs don’t have a particularly big need at the position in the 2024 recruiting cycle, but Georgia and co-defensive coordinator Glenn Schumann are always looking to add more high-level linebacker talent.
Georgia offered a scholarship offer to Williams in March 2023. The Bulldogs have one commitment at the linebacker position from five-star Demarcus Riddick. The Dawgs are certainly looking to add another talented linebacker in the 2024 cycle. Who will commit to Georgia next?
