5-star LB Justin Williams announces commitment
One of the top-rated players left uncommitted in the 2024 class came off of the board on Monday evening.
5-star linebacker Justin Williams officially announced his commitment to the Georgia Bulldogs, picking Kirby Smart and the two-time defending national champions over Dan Lanning and the Oregon Ducks.
Williams is rated by the 247Sports Composite as the No. 1 LB in the 2024 class, and the No. 11 overall player in the nation.
For months, Williams has been thought of as a strong Oregon lean in the recruiting world, with expectations that he would ultimately commit to the Ducks. However, the Bulldogs went after him in full force over the past couple of months, and Smart was able to land the top-rated defender in the end.
At the moment, Oregon has the No. 12 ranked class in the 2024 cycle with 20 commitments. The addition of Williams only furthers Georgia’s lead in the recruiting ratings, where they have the No. 1 ranked class by a large margin.
