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).

 

$$$$$$

 

Conner lew 2.0

Lew pre-injury was better imo. (yes this may be cope)

 

There is 0.000000% chance FSU stands out to him.

 

Well, he is a 2028 recruit so there's no rush.

OOps ... saw a listing on one bio statin he was 2028 ... then after seeing other "releases" realized he is 2027 and getting a major push by Auburn and Bama. We will see how it ends up. Would be huge to win a Natty this year. That would be a nice boost.

 

We have kids like Pickett waiting to play just as good coming back next year . We need a day starter player . Might be giving Mathews more $ lol I feel we have one coming soon . A big time commit. Denis marathon tweet

 

 

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.

Exactly, wonder who Mario & Staff have been working behind the scene for Jatori to consider looking around.

Personally, I would welcome the kid back if that’s what’s in the future. Only the Staff knows.

 

I wonder if this was nuetral decommit . If Miami does evaluate though out the season and seen he’s not that good for the $ . I have a feeling we’re about to get another ol

Yes, he was getting dominated this year.

 

Honestly just roll his money into a top portal grab because I think we need a plug and player starter

Sucks kid is legit but hey he’s thinking short term rather than long.

 

Never thought we'd go through an entire recruiting season without a decommit. Wouldn't be surprised if it's not the last one.
We're spoiled.

 

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

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

 

Look at the 4 schools in it for him. Those places are much different than miami

 

Yes, he was getting dominated this year.

We have enough projects we need immediate contributors or portal for one tor two . I feel like it’s Mathews or bust with this staff . Not sure if we’re pushing for the nd kid still . If not those two I feel it’s portal time

 

Kids face had Deep South written all over it

Auburn is like 30 min away my $ is on them

 

Never thought we'd go through an entire recruiting season without a decommit. Wouldn't be surprised if it's not the last one.

 

He's a Young man and he's got a life choice he's gotta make.... We all as Young men struggled with a few decisions growing....

 

He's going to Auburn

I believe so.... It's 30 - 40 min from Phoenix city, Ala.

 

Big Zesty gonna take his place.

Aggies won’t even make a bowl game.
