An NC State football offer holder since early April, Javonte Williams now appears as a three-star prospect on most recruiting sites after reeling in 35 catches for 679 yards and six touchdowns as a junior last season while also tallying 20 tackles on the other side of the ball.
He currently stacks up at No. 426 overall, No. 20 among tight ends, and No. 9 in Maryland on the 247Sports 2026 Composite.
Williams hasn't specified a decision date just yet. But the fact that he's narrowed his list of suitors to just three suggests he may be ready to announce a winner in his recruitment at some point within the next few weeks or months.
