In May of 2024, I wrote a post about the history of Texas Longhorn football-baseball dual-athletes and highlighted some of the major standouts of that group. It was primarily intended as an educational trip through UT’s athletics history, but on some level it was also an attempt as willing “Jonah Williams to Texas” into existence, as the five-star safety prospect from Galveston in the 2025 class was also a baseball player and had a stated desire to play both sports in college.
Texas was not seen as the leading contender for Williams’s commitment at the time of that post’s publication, but he ended up committing to the Longhorns three months later and signed with the program in December of 2024.
