Johnathan Williams

Williams enters his third season on the Prairie View A&M coaching staff and second year as the Quarterbacks Coach for the Panthers.

In his first year as quarterbacks coach of the Panthers, Williams proved his ability as Prairie View A&M boasted the SWAC's third-ranked passing attack despite injuries that necessitated the use of three players for significant stretches. In all, the Panthers' passing prowess helped Prairie View A&M field the SWAC's top-ranked offense for the second season in a row, with Prairie View A&M ranking fourth in total offense and 24th nationally in passing offense. Leading the way was Jalen Morton, who emerged as one of the SWAC's premier dual-threat signal-callers under Williams before landing as a quarterback for the Green Bay Packers.

Additionally, he served as USA National Team Coach for the 14U group.

A former standout signal-caller for Grambling State University (2011-15), Williams arrived at The Hill in 2018 as Assistant Quarterbacks Coach. That season, the Panthers led the SWAC in scoring and held the top-ranked passing attack in the conference. Williams helped develop Jalen Morton into the league's premier dual-threat, as Morton ranked second in passing and fifth in rushing with Williams' tutelage.

Versed in the concepts of the Spread, Air Raid, Pro-Style and West Coast offenses, Williams starred as one of the most prolific passers in the nation and in the history of Grambling State football prior to his arrival at the Hill. Williams earned All-SWAC honors twice (2014-15).

Williams led the SWAC in every notable passing category during the 2014 and 2015 seasons, and in 2015 he led the FCS in touchdown passes while being named the SWAC Offensive Player of the Year after guiding the team to the SWAC Championship Game. Williams was named MVP of the Bayou Classic on three separate occasions.

Williams earned his Bachelor's degree in Engineering Technology from Grambling State University in 2015 and is currently pursuing a Master's in Architecture at Prairie View A&M.
