The Aggies have finally received the commitment date from one of the most highly coveted priority prospects in the 2023 recruiting class, wide receiver Hykeem Williams.
After securing the No.1 recruiting class during the 2022 cycle, which included signing 5-Star wide receivers Evan Stewart, Chris Marshall, and high 4-Star Noah Thomas (who have been extremely impressive in fall camp so far), the program has yet to secure their first wide receiver commitment for 2023.
On Monday night, Williams announced via Twitter that his commitment announcement is set for Friday, September 23rd, and will choose between Miami, Georgia, Pitt, Florida State, and Texas A&M.

Hykeem Williams is currently listed as the 19th-ranked player, 2nd-ranked wide receiver in the country, and the 4th-ranked player in Florida, according to 247Sports. After offering William on January 20th, 2021, he has visited the campus unofficially on April 9th and June 10th, and with his commitment coming multiple weeks after the start of the 2022 season, chances are that we’ll possibly see the young wideout at a game during Texas A&M’s early home slate. according to 247Sports’s Crystal Ball, the Aggies have a 75% chance of landing Williams as it stands.
In a brief scouting report, I wrote for Williams, I highlighted his various attributes and how his skills will translate at the college level:
As a prospect, Williams is somewhat of an athletic freak, to put it mildly, and truly takes full advantage of his height and length while displaying a great catch radius, and does an above-average job creating separation after his release. Due to his height and vertical speed, Williams has the ability to play all three wide receiver spots but excels in the slot due to his quickness and route-running ability at this time, but may need to develop as a true X receiver in the future. His multi-sport background is a huge plus for his development at the next level, and a personal must-have trait for Aggie’s headman, Jimbo Fisher.
After weeks of speculation, finally receiving a commitment date has to be a sigh of relief for Jimbo Fisher, knowing that they are squarely in the mix for one of the most talented players in the entire recruiting class.
