Havelock High School wide receiver Jonathan Williams signed his national letter of intent to play football at East Carolina University on Wednesday morning.
This announcement comes as a surprise, as Williams had previously decommitted from ECU and committed to James Madison after the Pirates fired Mike Houston earlier this fall.
East Carolina officially confirmed the signing at 9:18 a.m.
After Williams switched his commitment to James Madison, East Carolina decided to promote defensive coordinator Blake Harrell to head coach, while retaining John David Baker as offensive coordinator.
Williams later shared that he will enroll early and begin classes at ECU in January.
According to the four major recruiting services—247Sports, ESPN, On3, and Rivals—Williams is a consensus 3-star prospect. Rivals ranks him as the No. 26 prospect in North Carolina for the 2025 class, while On3 places him at No. 43 in the state.
Williams and Havelock are preparing to face Jacksonville in the fourth round of the N.C. High School Athletic Association 3A East playoffs. The team is currently 12-1 this season.
In his senior season, Williams has accumulated 1,583 receiving yards and 14 touchdowns through the first 13 games, along with 514 rushing yards and 11 touchdowns on 51 carries.
