While many thought Caleb Williams may wrap up his recruitment early last Monday, the five-star quarterback had other plans.
Oklahoma’s only quarterback target released a top-five instead, with the Sooners entrenched in the fight. Williams has wrote glowingly about his relationship with Lincoln Riley and how his last visit to Oklahoma checked off all the boxes in past blogs with Sports Illustrated.
The Washington D.C. native has another entry in his weekly blog, this time letting the world know of when he thinks about committing.
“With the timeline, I’ve always wanted to commit before my senior year of football,” wrote Williams. “That’s still the plan, I don’t want to move that unless I have to. I’m still wanting to stay before the season but if that has to change then it has to change.”
In the mean time, Williams wrote that he will spend his time building relationships with some of the other top recruits in the 2021 class. He says he’s not pressuring anybody in this role, but communicating with them constantly and building a friendship.
Williams says he’s been waiting to get to this part of the process in order to help put the best recruiting class around him.
“Being able to have the same options along with top guys in the nation is pretty cool, especially when you can build relationships and bring those guys with you,” he wrote. “You really don’t get that in high school, especially at Gonzaga because you have to get in the school first. So you’re not able to bring guys in like college. Then in the NFL, like my dad says, they choose you. You don’t choose what team you want to go to, at least not in the first contract you get. College is pretty unique and pretty special.”
The Sooners remain without a quarterback committed for the 2021 class and Williams remains the priority for Riley and Oklahoma.
