It is only February but Liberty has already picked up two commitments for the Class of 2026, marking the earliest the football team has ever received public commitments. QB John Johnson announced his commitment on Sunday and now his high school teammate, Maurice Williams, has also announced his commitment to Liberty.

Williams, who goes by Moe, is a 5’11’, 165 pound rising senior from Edna Karr High School in New Orleans. Like Johnson, Williams helped lead Edna Karr to a perfect season in 2025 and state title which was won at the Superdome.

Williams’ offer list includes Ole Miss, Washington, UCF, Georgia Tech, UTSA, South Alabama, and others. He is a three-star rated prospect, according to Rivals. Williams and Johnson were both part of an impressive group of visitors the Flames had on campus this past Saturday for Junior Day. They will be able to sign in December to be part of the 2026 Liberty football team.
