Miami has suffered some bad news on the recruiting trail. Four-star interior offensive lineman Jatori Williams has decommitted from the University of Miami.

Williams released a statement on Twitter following his departure with the Hurricanes:

First, I want to thank the University of Miami coaching staff for the time, effort, and care they have shown me and my family throughout my recruitment. They have done an outstanding job recruiting me and building relationships with us, and I am truly grateful for their belief in me. After careful consideration, I have decided to decommit from the University of Miami and reopen my recruitment. This is a personal decision and does not reflect any disappointment with Miami or its coaching staff. They have been great to me and my family every step of the way. They are elite.As we approach signing day in December, I want to give myself the opportunity to fully evaluate my options and make the best decision for my future. Where I will be for the next 3-4 years is a very important decision for my family and I, It's one that I do not take lightly. I still have a lot of love and respect for Miami, and I am keeping that door open with them as I move forward in this process. Thank you to everyone who has supported me throughout this process. I appreciate your understanding.

This is now Miami's third departed prospect in the 2027 recruiting class and this is also Williams' second school he has decommitted from this year (Alabama).

Despite decommitting from the Crimson Tide, he still remains in contact with the Tide's coaching staff and has left the door open to return. On3's Hayes Fawcett released a Twitter post stating that four schools are standing out the most to him: Alabama, Auburn, Georgia, and Florida State.

Williams was viewed as a top-100 prospect according to the 247Sports Recruiting Rankings. The site ranks him as the nation's No. 5 interior offensive linemen and the No. 3 player out of Alabama.

The Hurricanes 2027 recruiting class still remains at the top, ranking as the No. 4 class in the country, sitting just behind Texas A&M (1), Oregon (2), and Notre Dame (3).

He could probably play right away at Auburn, but either Alabama school wouldn't be surprising.

This one hurts, but we’re competing amongst the biggest of big game hunters these days.

Lets not have sour grapes. This has, "Told staff he wants to look around...$$$$.....staff told him its better for him to decommit then" vibes. This is what it is in the NIL era. These kids dont know what is going to happen with the Protect College Sports Act bill. We assume it wont pass but if it does..we got a salary cap. Which means kids have to get all they can get now just in case. We wanted a free NIL market with no cap...well..here it is.

HOWEVER, that FSU visit has to be a joke. He must have a cousin or sister that goes to FAMU and wants a free trip or something. Lol.

Let’s not trash him just yet, I always go back to Malachi Toney decommitting and then coming back into the fold.

Trust the staff and don’t give the player a reason to disqualify us.

In my mind that never happened.

You think these recruits agents are telling them that? Lol. Im not saying thats the reason he decommitted. But lets not act like the majority of these recruits are up on the latest updates in the political theater either. They can be easily persuaded.

Mario ain’t playing when it comes to visits. If you commit you’re committed. Not taking bags to go visit somewhere else. This was mutual

“FSU is willing to pay me a fortune” is an easy sell

I am not too certain that's the case. We are about half way through the season and you would have a hard time telling me either G spot is "locked up" for next season.
