Jalonnie Williams is a sturdy, NFL-sized NIU edge with room to pop
Williams gives Northern Illinois a long, physical defensive-end frame at about 6'4"-6'5" and 285-286 pounds, with EA Sports ratings that point to solid power (84 strength) and functional burst (78 acceleration). In 2025, he posted 8 solo tackles and no sacks at NIU, so the raw production is still developing, but the profile says he can hold the edge, play with leverage, and keep climbing as a technique-based developmental piece. If you want size, toughness, and upside over instant splash plays, he’s a fit.
