D.J. Williams chose to get closer to his hometown when he decided to transfer to Florida State after two years at Auburn. He also made his decision on how connected he felt to the program.
“It was really a process of just having a relationship with people. So that made it really easy to make my selection,” Williams said, per 247Sports.
Williams did not see a lot of playing time for Auburn in 2020 as he battled injuries and was third on the depth chart behind Tank Bigsby and Shaun Shivers. On 38 attempts, the sophomore rushed for 199 yards and three touchdowns. It was a letdown from what seemed to be a promising future following his freshman campaign in which he ran for 400 yards and two scores on 84 attempts.
He will join former Auburn assistant Kenny Dillingham in Tallahassee.
“I just trust in his process and what he does,” Williams said. “He runs the football, and I just trust in the process.”
