From Hooper to Tight End, Jalen Williams Thrilled With Pitt Offer

Traditionally, there have been plenty of quality tight ends at the college level who were serious basketball players. That was the case for Jalen Williams, who earned an offer from the Pitt Panthers late last week.

Located southwest of Indianapolis at Bloomington (Ind.) Bloomington North High School, Williams worked through his basketball-to-football transition in the fall as a 6-foot-5 receiver. 

Now he’s beginning to attract Power Four attention.

On Friday, Williams announced an offer from Pitt, his first at the highest level of college football.
