Top-ranked tight end committed to UGA plans to visit Florida

Despite a verbal commitment to Georgia back in April, the top tight end in the class of 2025 plans to visit the Swamp for a junior day.

The Florida Gators are looking for an elite tight end recruit from the class of 2025, and what better place is there to start than the top?

The top-ranked tight end in the class, Georgia commit Elyiss Williams, has plans to stop by the Swamp next weekend for Florida’s final junior day of January, according to Gators Online. He’s expected in Gainesville on Saturday.

Williams committed to the Bulldogs in April, but there are still 11 more months for Florida to try and flip him. Getting him on campus for the first time is a start, but ensuring he makes a return visit is the real test.

The On3 recruiting prediction says Florida State, UCF and Tennessee are the teams most likely to make a run, but he also holds offers from Auburn, Miami, Notre Dame and South Carolina.

Williams is a consensus four-star recruit who is likely to earn a fifth star once he begins his senior year. He’s ranked No. 17 overall on the On3 industry ranking, which uses a weighted average of all four major services.

he greatest prize of the weekend went to Georgia, though. 

Easter weekend saw a ton of college commitments across the country, including five schools picking up new quarterback recruits from the class of 2024. The greatest prize of the weekend went to Georgia, though.

Five-star Charlton County (Ga.) athlete Elyiss Williams announced his commitment to the Bulldogs on Sunday.

Georgia won out over 15 other programs that made offers, including Auburn, Cincinnati, Florida, Florida A&M, Florida Atlantic, Florida State, Georgia Southern, Georgia Tech, LSU, Miami, Middle Tennessee State, Notre Dame, South Carolina, Tennessee and UCF.

Asked about his decision, Williams told On3 that he grew up a Georgia fan and head coach Kirby Smart and his staff treated him like family throughout the recruiting process.

“The talks with coach Smart and coach Hartley stood out, I grew up on the Georgia Bulldogs! I have an opportunity to stay home and be a part of the dynasty, that’s a tough decision to deny… They treat me like family every trip. I feel like I’m home when I’m there. I’m most closest with coach Smart and coach Hartley and their plan is to develop me into the best version of myself.”

Williams (6-foot-7, 235 pounds) plays both edge and tight end, where he’s ranked No. 1 in his class. He is already the third five-star recruit in Georgia’s class of 2025, which ranks first in the nation. The others are Buford (Ga.) linebacker Jadon Perlotte and Manchester (Ga.) DL Justus Terry.

LSU offers 5-star athlete in 2025 class

Elyiss Williams plays both tight end and edge rusher.

[autotag]Elyiss Williams[/autotag] is a 6-foot-6, 220-pound athlete from the 2025 recruiting class. He is from Folkston, Georgia, where he plays for Charlton County High School. The Charlton County Indians finished the 2022 season 8-3 with a loss to Dooley County in the second round of the playoffs. There are currently no Crystal Ball projections for Williams, but according to On3, Georgia is a 43% favorite.

Film Analysis: Williams is listed as an athlete by On3, but according to 247Sports, Williams is listed as a tight end. During his freshman season, that is where he made most of his starts. During his sophomore season, he was able to get some snaps at defensive end and wreak havoc in opposing backfields. We will see where he winds up when his signing day approaches.
