Jonas Williams, Lincoln Way-East star, trims college choices to 4

Lincoln-Way East quarterback Jonas Williams clearly has caught the interest of almost every college football program in the country.

He holds more than 40 Division I offers, but the junior-to-be is apparently looking to solidify his plans on a quick timeline. He recently announced that he has trimmed his list of potential schools to four of the premiere college football schools in the country – Alabama, LSU, Ohio State and Oregon.

Williams hopes to visit all four schools this fall and make the decision by the end of his junior season.

Williams transferred from Bolingbrook to Lincoln-Way East in January. In his first two seasons at the varsity level, Williams has thrown for 6,006 yards and 67 touchdowns.

With two years of varsity eligibility remaining, those numbers would seem to make it possible for Williams to make a run at a pair of the state’s career passing records. Aurora Christian’s Jordan Roberts (2005-08) and Greenville’s Tyler Hutchinson (2012-14) share the state record for passing touchdowns with 127, while Hutchinson owns the career passing yardage record of 10,894. He’s the only thrower in state history to have amassed more than 10,000 career passing yards.
