Five-star safety includes Georgia football in top three

James Williams, the nation’s fifth-ranked prospect of the 2021 recruiting cycle, has reduced his list of preferred college destination down to three.

Georgia, Alabama, and Clemson are Williams’ final three suitors.

The five-star junior out of Opa Locka, Florida is the state’s top prospect both at the safety position and overall as per 247.com, which currently projects him as a one hundred percent Bulldog lean according to three recruiting analysts.

At six-foot-five and nearly 220 pounds, Williams’ size (particularly his length) is rare for a defensive back. Head coach Kirby Smart, a former safety, and defensive backs coach Charlton Warren would have big plans for a player with the speed and vision necessary to play both strong and free safety combined with the size and physicality to play STAR.
