Top 10 Illinois QBs for 2024 high school football season
1. Jonas Williams, Jr., Lincoln-Way East
Williams is the top quarterback in Illinois this season and is also the lone on this list. The Lincoln-Way East junior has a lot of upside in high school and beyond, and recently committed to Oregon over other offers from schools like Alabama, LSU, Tennessee and Ohio State. Williams will eventually look to lead Dan Lanning鈥檚 high-octane offense, but first he鈥檒l aim to continue his success with the Griffins as an accurate passer who is also very mobile. The 6-foot-2, 205-pound quarterback began his high school career at Bolingbrook and threw for 2,737 yards and 37 touchdowns as just a freshman. Despite dealing with injuries last season, Williams still had a 3,000-yard campaign and threw 33 touchdowns. He could be the piece that puts the Griffins over the top this season after falling in the Class 8A state title game last fall.
