Auburn recruiting has been red-hot since [autotag]Hugh Freeze[/autotag] took over and the Tigers are looking to build an elite recruiting class in 2024.
One elite prospect the Tigers are going after is four-star linebacker [autotag]Justin Williams[/autotag] and that feeling is mutual. The Conroe, Texas native is a top 100 recruit and on Saturday he announced his top six schools.
Auburn made the cut and will be battling Texas A&M, Texas, TCU, Oregon, and USC for the 6-foot-2, 205-pounder.
He is the No. 54 overall player and No. 4 linebacker in the 247Sports Composite ranking. He is also the No. 7 player from Texas in the 2024 recruiting cycle.
Williams had an impressive junior season for Oak Ridge High School, making 95 total tackles, 17 tackles for loss, and 8.5 sacks, and was named the district’s Defensive Player of the Year.
If Auburn is going to land the talented defender they have some ground to make up, Oregon is seen as the early favorite and 247Sports Steve Wiltfong has cast a Crystal Ball for the Ducks to land him.
