St. John Bosco's premier receiving unit is spearheaded by Madden Williams
In the world of American football, the receivers are the big-play weapons, the target players who catch forward passes from the quarterback. Their main responsibilities include running precise routes to evade defensive coverage, creating separation from defenders, and securing the football, often in challenging conditions like tight coverage [1].
At St. John Bosco High School, one receiver stands out as a scoring threat and key playmaker. Madden Williams, a 6-foot-2, 190-pound athlete, has committed to Texas A&M and has demonstrated his ability to make "big plays" [2]. Williams' junior year stats include 13 touchdown receptions, showcasing his penchant for scoring.
Coach Jason Negro has praised St. John Bosco's receiver group, stating that it is both their best and deepest [4]. The group includes Daniel Odom, an Oklahoma commit with the size to be a top player, and Carson Clark, a San Jose State commit. Two highly regarded freshmen, Darren Tubbs and Landon Perkins, are also part of the group [5].
Williams is the centerpiece of this formidable corps, forcing defenses into difficult choices—double-cover one receiver, and another will make a big play. His ability to make "big plays" boosts the confidence of sophomore quarterback Koa Malau'ulu, demonstrating strong chemistry and dependability [2].
The 2019 season saw St. John Bosco's receiver positions occupied by Logan Loya, Kris Hutson, and Beaux Collins, who ended up at UCLA, Washington State, and Clemson, respectively [6]. For the 2025 season, St. John Bosco's football team has a strong collection of receivers.
In addition to Williams, the team boasts players like Troy Foster, a Colorado State commit who caught 15 touchdowns, and Kayden Dixon-Wyatt, an Ohio State commit known for delivering big catches [7]. Luc Weaver, a USC commit, has improved his speed, work ethic, and aggressiveness, while Vance Spafford, a Miami commit, brings tremendous speed and great hands to the table [8].
Chris Henry Jr., another Ohio State commit, is finally healthy and ready to perform after an injury-plagued season. Demare Dezeurn, a fast receiver from Palisades, is expected to dominate in the City Section. Quentin Hale, a junior at L.A. Cathedral, caught 14 TDs as a sophomore, adding another scoring threat to the mix [9].
Madden Williams, apart from being a receiver for St. John Bosco, also played basketball as a reserve, using the practices to develop skills for football. His physicality, strength, and great route-running ability, combined with his leverage understanding and high football IQ, make him a formidable player on the field [10].
The sophomore quarterback for St. John Bosco, Koa Malau'ulu, will benefit greatly from this electric receiver group. As the season unfolds, football fans can expect to see Williams and his fellow receivers make their mark on the field, creating exciting plays and pushing the team towards victory.
