Jalen Williams Jalen Williams 6'0" | 165 lbs | DB Kell | 2026 State GA is a breakout player this past fall who is due a rankings boost in the next update. 6’0 160, but plays even bigger. He isn’t afraid to jab receivers at the line and is pesky throughout route process. He is athletic enough to change directions and stick around receivers at release points, but will make his money in coverage by getting his hands on people. He is a search-and-destroy tackler, keeping his eyes up, base set, and taking good angles to the football. He hits well for his size and doesn’t have an issue bringing people to the ground. He projects as a corner, but if he can’t stick there his tackling ability and experience playing several different spots raises his floor.

Since transferring to Kell this offseason, Jalen Williams has exploded onto the recruiting scene and has added major P4 offers to his name. Williams is extremely disruptive in man coverage, possessing the footwork to match WRs at the line and the length/physicality to compete throughout the route process. On his sophomore tape, he showcased the ability to track the ball well, sticking on the hip of WRs, crowding the catch point, and playing through the football. Thanks to his downhill tackling ability, he can stay on the field on every down. Williams checks the athleticism boxes, but he is also disruptive in press coverage and thrives on competition.
