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).

It was definitely a mutual split for him to drop us from consideration.

 

He’s 27

That's very old for a HS recruit...

 

He's probably going to Auburn, I just checked on3

Yuck, no issue staying to play at home but Auburn is terrible. Would respect it more if he chose Bama. Good luck!

 

Auburn and FSU! lol kid isn’t serious about football and he isn’t getting any serious PT anytime soon at UGA or BAMA. I liked the kids potential but he wasn’t a day 1 contributor.

On to the next one.

 

FSU? Who the heck is advising these kids

 

It was definitely a mutual split for him to drop us from consideration.

My thoughts too . They prob watched him and impressed .esp for the $

 

He’s going to have to live with that decision. We’ll see him in 2028 and 2029

tifwiw but from his own words he didn't drop Miami from his consideration.
