The pledge comes after a weekend visit Williams and his family took to Oxford to survey the rising Rebels program and it was clear at the time from his Twitter page that he was enjoying his visit immensely. One tweet reads, "I love this place man," while another opines, "I dont wanna leave lol."
As for the commitment, Ole Miss was the sole offer for Williams, who projects as a four-star prospect and is ranked no. 28 on the first LSR for 2015.

Such is the power of Twitter and a big-time follow, apparently.
Considered one of the top running backs in the state of Texas, Williams has ideal size for the position at 5'11 and 195 pounds. On film, he doesn't appear to have breakaway speed, but he does have a strong combination of size and speed. More than that, what Williams does really well is consistently square his shoulders to the line of scrimmage when he coming downhill and use his vision to pick through traffic and maximize runs.
