On Wednesday, that became abundantly clear. Williams committed to the Tigers over Oklahoma, Alabama, Florida State and a host of other elite programs.
Williams is the nation's No. 102 overall player and No. 7 outside linebacker. He's the Tigers' 13th commitment in the 2015 class.
"It's the feeling I get from them, it's different than everybody else," Williams said of Auburn. "They tell me I can play early, but the feeling is just different from everybody else."
Williams is 6-foot-3, 227 pounds. He's Auburn's ninth four-star commitment and will only strengthen the Tigers' No. 3-ranked recruiting class.
