Four-star wide receiver Tyler Williams of Lakeland (Fla.) High announced his commitment to Georgia Tuesday night. 

The 6-foot-4, 207 pounder chose the Bulldogs over Miami, Clemson, South Carolina, and Texas A&M.

Williams on why he chose Georgia 

“At first on my visit I felt welcomed like I was at home,” Williams said. “Then, once the season started, I saw everything I needed to. They arguably have the best offense in college football and develop you as a complete person, not just in football.”

Relationship with coaching staff stood out + Georgia’s plan for Tyler Williams

“I have a great relationship with all of the coaches, but I feel like I have the best relationship with coach BMac,” Williams said. “They plan on using me both inside and outside, as well as on special teams. I feel like I can be used as a weapon anywhere.

The Sunshine State wide receiver joins coach Kirby Smart and the Georgia Bulldogs’ No. 2 class in the 2023 team rankings. He is accompanied by Raylen Wilson, A.J. Harris, and others.

Tyler Williams Scouting Summary

“Former basketball-first athlete who blossomed as a wide receiver after transferring to powerhouse Lakeland High as a junior,” On3’s Director of Scouting Charles Power wrote. “Has a natural, well-rounded skill set at receiver. A big, fluid mover at around 6-foot-3, 200 pounds. Has plus length for the position with 33.5-inch arms. Draws on his basketball background to win at the catch point. High-points and attacks the ball in contested situations. Shows good lateral agility and spatial awareness as a runner after the catch. Continues to be a top basketball player, averaging over 15 points per game as a junior. Will need to continue progressing in the technical aspects of his game given his lack of football focus to this point.”
