In-state decision: Alabama lands Top 10 interior lineman in 2027 class

Alabama football has added to its 2027 recruiting class with the commitment of one of the top offensive linemen in the cycle, Jatori “JT” Williams.
Williams is an in-state talent, currently playing his junior season at Central High School in Phenix City, Alabama. The 6-foot-5, 300-pounder took unofficial visits during his recruitment to Alabama, Auburn and Georgia Tech, while also holding offers from the likes of Ohio State, Georgia, Nebraska and others.
Rated as a 4-star prospect in the 2027 class by the Rivals Industry Rankings, Williams is ranked as the cycle’s No. 170 overall player. He also comes in as the No. 7 interior offensive lineman and No. 4 player in the state of Alabama.
He’s the Crimson Tide’s third commitment in 2027, joining 4-star edge JaBarrius Garror from Vigor High School in Mobile and 4-star cornerback Alexander Ward from IMG Academy (originally Marietta, Ga.)
