Bellflower (Calif.) St. John Bosco wideout Madden Williams rises to a four-star 90 grade and enters the 2026 Top247 at No. 247, per protocol, after a spot opened following Columbia (S.C.) Ridge View receiver Jordon Gidron‘s reclassification to the 2025 cycle.
Williams assembled a strong offseason with multiple top performances at OT7 events, but we wanted to see it in pads. So far this season, he has been very impressive, highlighted by a recent seven-catch, 252-yard, three-touchdown performance against a very good Chatsworth (Calif.) Sierra Canyon team.
Physically, Williams possesses the build and play style that reminds us of Ohio State sophomore Brandon Inniss. He owns a strong frame, displays elite route-running acumen, and dominates in 50-50 and jump-ball situations.
Like Inniss, Williams is not a burner — more quick than fast — but is such a strong route runner and knows how to change speeds, that he’s able to turn around a cornerback and get downfield separation. He has strong hands and runs well after the catch. Williams just visited Penn State and will visit Florida State and Oregon over the next two weeks. — Greg Biggins, 247Sports national scouting analyst
