Georgia football makes final two for five-star prospect

Georgia football makes the final two for five-star prospect James Williams.

2021 5-star athlete James Williams has released his final two schools.

It’s down to Georgia and Miami for the nation’s No. 1 ranked athlete, who hails from Plantation, Florida and plays for powerhouse American Heritage.

Currently, according to 247Sports, Georgia is the favorite to land Williams, with nine expert predictions going in Kirby Smart and the Dawgs’ favor. He was once committed to Miami, but backed off that commitment a little over a year ago.

Williams ranks as the nation’s No. 10 overall recruit, No. 1 athlete and No. 1 player in the state of Florida.

At 6-foot-5 and nearly 220 pounds, Williams’ size (particularly his length) is rare for a defensive back. Smart, a former safety, and defensive backs coach Charlton Warren would have big plans for a player with the speed and vision necessary to play both strong and free safety combined with the size and physicality to play STAR.

That speed and vision give the out-of-state standout the ability to quickly diagnose plays and react accordingly. Whether he joins the Dawgs or the local Hurricanes, he is capable of making an immediate impact as a true freshman.
