Jonas Williams has officially cemented his name in the Illinois high school football record books.
On Friday night, the Lincoln-Way East star quarterback threw his 128th career touchdown pass early in the first quarter, breaking the state record previously held by Jordan Roberts of Aurora (2005-08) and Tyler Hutchinson of Greenville (2012-14).
The 6-foot-1, 200-pounder has been a starter since he took the field as a freshman, beginning his career at Bolingbrook before transferring to Lincoln-Way East after his sophomore season.
As a freshman in his first year of high school football, Williams threw for more than 2,700 yards and 37 touchdowns. He followed that up as a sophomore with a campaign where he amassed more than 3,100 passing yards and 33 scores while dealing with injuries throughout the season.
But his junior campaign was where he truly broke out, leading Lincoln-Way East to a 12-1 record and the semifinals of the Illinois 8A state playoffs. He did so while completing 68 percent of his passes for 2,926 yards with 42 touchdowns and only six interceptions.
