Auburn’s running back room just got a lot thinner.
On Friday, Auburn Undercover reported that D.J. Williams has entered the transfer portal.
From the report:
Williams fought injuries throughout the 2020 season, rushing 38 times for 199 yards and three touchdowns. He was Auburn’s leading returning rusher after carrying 84 times for 400 yards and two touchdowns as a freshman.
Williams, from Sebring, Fla., was a late-blooming prospect who became a hot target in December of 2019. He signed with Auburn, but his family was openly unhappy when running back Tim Horton was cut loose just days later.
Williams is the second running back to enter the portal following Mark Antony-Richards.
