Bears' Elijah Williams Makes Immediate Impact
Elijah Williams, the 6-foot-3, 220-pound defensive end for Catholic High's 5A Bears, wasted no time making a name for himself in Louisiana. In his first game, Williams recorded 3 sacks and 7 tackles for loss, helping his team secure a 24-14 victory over a tough opponent. The Class of 2026 standout transferred to Catholic High from out-of-state, but his impressive performance quickly earned him a starting role on the Bears' defensive line. Williams' athleticism and pass-rushing skills have scouts taking notice, and he's expected to be a key contributor to the team's success this season. As the Bears prepare for another tough 5A schedule, Williams will be counted on to bring pressure on opposing quarterbacks and make plays in the backfield. Scouts are watching to see how Williams adapts to the LHSAA's rules and regulations, particularly in regards to his ability to rush the quarterback and get to the ball carrier quickly.
