Jarrell Williams is the dynamic Founder and CEO of the Student Athletics Foundation and the Co-Founder of the Royals Elite Athletics organization in the Chicago Southland area.
A decorated football player from Harold L. Richards High School, he achieved numerous accolades, including being named 1st Team All-State and ranking among the nation's top defensive backs.
He furthered his athletic career with a full scholarship at Northwestern University (NU), where he shone not only in sports but also in academia and community service. At NU, he played a pivotal role in student organizations fostering inclusivity and combating bullying, earned Academic All-Big Ten honors, and was recognized with the Evanston Community Volunteer Award.
Despite facing challenges, including a career-halting injury, Jarrell's indomitable spirit led him to complete his MBA at the University of St. Francis while also playing in their football program. His life's motto is "embrace opportunity," believing in resilience, growth, and the power of response to both triumphs and trials.
Alongside his wife Angela, a former softball student-athlete, they work tirelessly to empower student-athletes both on and off the field, nurturing discipline, love, teamwork, and guidance.
Jarrell's coaching prowess is further demonstrated as the Head Girl's Track & Field Coach at Munster High School. In his inaugural year, he led the team to become Conference and Sectional Champions, broke three school records, and was honored as the Conference Coach of the Year. Two of his athletes shined at the state meet, placing in multiple events. Passionate about mentoring and shaping young athletes, Jarrell is dedicated to ensuring every student he mentors evolves into their best self.
