Five-star safety, Derek Williams, has committed to the University of Texas over Alabama, Clemson, Notre Dame, and others.
Williams is the No. 3 safety in the 2023 recruiting cycle and the No. 37 player overall. Coming in at 6’2 and 185-pounds, Williams has an outstanding frame to succeed at the collegiate and professional levels and he comes out of New Iberia, Louisiana.
Williams would have been a massive get for the Tide because the possibility of pairing him with recent commit [autotag]Tony Mitchell[/autotag] would have been something special.
Instead, he will join former Alabama offensive coordinator [autotag]Steve Sarkisian[/autotag] in Austin and will attempt to revive the Texas brand.
1000% COMMITTED ‼️ #hookem @TexasFootball @CoachSark @Coach_TJoseph @Coach_Gideon @ryantoine @PublicSKOOL_Bun @skiezwamp @samspiegs pic.twitter.com/FcY6W5tFAI
