In a stunning announcement today, 2025 4-star athlete Madden Williams has committed to play for Brigham Young University (BYU), rejecting offers from powerhouse programs like the Georgia Bulldogs and even an intriguing offer from the NFL’s Minnesota Vikings.

Williams, a versatile athlete known for his explosive speed and strength, has dominated high school football as both a wide receiver and defensive back. His recruitment was highly competitive, with both Georgia and Minnesota making strong pushes for his talents. However, Williams ultimately chose BYU, citing the program’s strong academic reputation, supportive coaching staff, and a personal connection to the university’s faith-based culture.

“I’ve always dreamed of playing at the highest level, and BYU offers the perfect environment to grow both on and off the field,” Williams said in his commitment announcement. “The chance to make an impact at BYU feels like the right fit for me.”

Williams’ commitment is a huge win for BYU, as they continue to bolster their roster for the future. With Williams’ versatile skill set, he’s expected to make an immediate impact as he joins the Cougars in 2025, adding an exciting new dimension to their already dynamic football program.
