Four-star offensive lineman Jatori Williams announced his commitment to Auburn on Tuesday. His pledge to Auburn comes nearly a month after he decommitted from Miami.
Williams, a current standout at Central High School in Phenix City, has been high on Auburn's radar since Alex Golesh was named head coach last November. According to 247Sports, Auburn first offered Williams during Junior Day on Jan. 31, and he has since visited campus three times, most recently on Nov. 7 to watch the Tigers play Arkansas.
Williams tells Brenden Sonnone of 247Sports that the relationship with Auburn's coaching staff and the campus' proximity to his hometown of Phenix City played a giant role in his commitment. He has also shut down his recruitment ahead of the Early Signing Period, which begins Dec. 2.
Williams is the third-highest-rated commit in Auburn football's 2026 recruiting class, which ranks No. 11 in 247Sports rankings . The 6-foot-5, 320-pound interior offensive lineman ranks No. 5 nationally at his position and is the No. 3 player from Alabama. Auburn now has five of the state's top 11 players in its 2027 class: Isaac McNeil (No. 2), Jatori Williams (No. 3), Deshawn Hall (No. 7), Marquis Evans (No. 10), and Donivan Moore (No. 11).
