Recent LSU DL commit Zion Williams sees big boost in On3's recruiting rankings

It was a busy holiday week on the recruiting trail for LSU, which added a trio of commitments in Zion Williams, Brandon Brown (who flipped from Texas) and Damien Shanklin.

Williams was previously the lowest-rated player in that group, but he’s seen a big boost in On3’s latest rankings update. Previously considered a three-star prospect who sat outside the top 300 nationally, Williams is now a four-star who ranks No. 86 in America.

With that rapid rise, he has now climbed to No. 237 in the On3 industry rankings. On3’s own rankings, however, are the highest on the 2025 Lufkin, Texas, prospect of any service.

LSU’s class previously ranked as high as No. 1 but has taken some recent hits. It’s rising back up with these latest additions, however, and now ranks No. 6 in the cycle per 247Sports and No. 5 per On3.
