2024 N/DT Javon Williams – Pinellas Park

Williams is an interior defensive lineman who is currently listed at 6’2” and 270 pounds. He moves very well and displays a great motor that keeps him near the football-making plays. I love the energy that he plays with. He finished his sophomore season with 62 total tackles, 14 tackles for loss, and 6 sacks.
