Phenix City (Ala.) Central 2027 four-star offensive lineman Jatori Williams has decommitted from Alabama, he told Rivals’ Hayes Fawcett.

He had been pledged to the Crimson Tide since September 29, when he chose them over Auburn, Georgia Tech, Georgia and a host of other offers.

“I feel like I rushed the process,” Williams told Fawcett.

Even after his initial commitment, Williams continued to visit other schools. That included Auburn, Florida State and Georgia Tech. And with a full year until National Signing Day for the 2027 class, he will have a chance to fully explore his options.

The 6-foot-5, 320-pounder is the No. 123 overall prospect in the 2027 class, according to the Rivals Industry Ranking, an equally weighted average that utilizes all three major recruiting services. He also ranks as the nation’s No. 6 offensive lineman.

He was one of the biggest rankings risers in Rivals’ update for the junior class, moving from an unranked three-star to a top-150 prospect nationally.

“Williams is another big riser along the interior offensive line. He plays left tackle for his high school and plays a really tough schedule at Phenix City Central in Alabama,” Charles Power, Rivals’ Director of Scouting and Rankings said. “He has had some showcase games and held up really well against IMG Academy and their top pass rushers in pass protection, even though he probably is a guy who projects on the inside long term. He is just a guy who is a big wide body and developed, and we think he’s shown some some really encouraging strides on his junior film.” 

His defection leaves Alabama with three commits in the 2027 cycle: four-star EDGE JaBarrius Garror, four-star quarterback Trent Seaborn and three-star cornerback Nash Johnson.
