24 Aug 2025 501 Football Team 2025: Jordon Williams – Perryville

Perryville senior Jordon Williams still has more gas left in the tank. 

As he enters his ninth season on the gridiron, the All-State lineman is committed to leading the Mustangs to a deep playoff run while also building name recognition to help find a football home at the next level.

“Watching college football at a young age helped me fall in love with the game,” he said. “This season, I’m working my hardest so that I can play college football after high school. I want to be remembered as a hard-nosed football player who never gave up on his goals.”

The Mustangs showed promise last season, winning six games before falling in the first round of the Class 3A playoffs. 

Behind Williams, the team has put in extra work behind the scenes this offseason to become bigger, faster and stronger. 

“We just want to win,” he said. “By putting in the work now and working hard in all aspects of the game, we can go as far as we want.”

Williams’ drive to succeed is felt throughout the locker room, capturing the attention of his coaching staff. 

“Jordon leads our team in multiple ways,” Head Coach Allan Fairbanks said.

“From his great work ethic in the weight room to his vocal presence and physicality, he helps bring out the best of everyone on the team. I expect him to continue to be a leader and a difference maker for us this year in all phases of the game.”
