LSU’s recruiting staff made a trip to Texas to check out one of the best defensive linemen in the 2025 recruiting class. They’ll have to fight off future SEC foe, Texas, to land him though.
Zion Williams is a 6-foot-4, 295-pound, four-star defensive lineman from Lufkin, Texas where he plays for Lufkin High School. The Lufkin Panthers are off to a 2-0 start in the 2023 season after back-to-back big wins.
There are no Crystal Ball projections for Williams at this time but Texas is a 46% favorite per On3.
Film Analysis: Williams starts at defensive tackle for the Panthers and is a brick wall in the A-gap.
