One of the top targets for the Oregon Ducks is set to come off the board in the coming days. Unfortunately, he appears to be trending away from Dan Lanning and the staff.
Five-star linebacker Justin Williams announced on Wednesday he plans to make his commitment official on Monday, July 24. Williams is the No. 1 overall linebacker in the 2024 class and the No. 11 player overall.
For several months, the Ducks were considered the leader to land a commitment from Williams. However, the Georgia Bulldogs made a major late push in his recruitment, and they are predicted to land his commitment.
This decision comes not long after Oregon was unable to land a commitment from five-star edge rusher Elijah Rushing, who committed to the Arizona Wildcats instead.
Oregon has commitments from four-star linebackers Dylan Williams and Kamara Mothudi in the 2024 class. Should they pull off and upset and land Williams over the defending champion Bulldogs, it would be a feather in the cap for Dan Lanning during his time in Eugene.
Williams will choose among Georgia, Oregon, Alabama and Texas.
