Alabama beats out a host of SEC rivals for massive 4-star OL Jatori Williams

Phenix City (Ala.) Central four-star offensive lineman Jatori Williams is staying in the state of Alabama.

The 6-foot-5, 302-pounder has committed to the in-state Crimson Tide over offers from Auburn, Georgia Tech, Ohio State, Nebraska and dozens of others. His decision, interestingly enough, comes after he was on campus at Georgia for Saturday’s game against Alabama.

Williams was also at Florida State earlier this season when they hosted Alabama.

Now, he becomes the third commitment for Kalen DeBoer and Co. in the 2027 class. Williams joins fellow in-state product JaBarrius Garror, an edge rusher out of Mobile Vigor, as well as four-star IMG Academy athlete Alexander Ward.

He ranks as the nation’s No. 170 overall prospect in the junior class, according to the Rivals Industry Ranking, an equally weighted average that utilizes all three major recruiting services. Williams also checks in as the nation’s No. 7 interior offensive lineman and No. 4 player in the Yellowhammer State.
