aubiefifty 16,733 Posted July 31, 2022 Share Posted July 31, 2022 Decommitted after staying the night in Auburn during Big Cat Weekend. It is highly likely he lands with the Tigers... let's see what happens. Not sure what the time-frame is for his decision. He might wait a little bit or it could be some time today. He is a different type of edge than Wilky Denaud and is a high priority. Excited about this guy. Nebraska commit 'had a great time' at Big Cat and will return to Auburn by JD McCarthy Auburn is desperately looking for more edge rushers in the 2023 recruiting class and one of their top targets was on campus for Big Cat on Saturday. Ashley Williams may be committed to Nebraska but Auburn never stopped recruiting him and a “great time” at Big Cat has them firmly in the mix for the four-star prospect. Williams told Jason Caldwell of Auburn Undercover that Auburn has a “great shot” and that “I’m still thinking right now. I’m still committed to Nebraska, but I’m still thinking about Auburn a little bit.” “Auburn is one of the only schools that’s still talking to me after my commitment,” he said. “That means a lot. Auburn is still in my heart.” Williams admitted that it is basically down to Auburn and Nebraska and that he plans to return to Auburn for an official visit early in the season, likely for the Penn State or LSU game. The Zachary, Louisiana native has a couple of factors that he is using to determine which school he ends up at. “It’s really just the relationship with the coaches and the defensive scheme that fits me,” Williams said. “Also where I think I can get to the NFL.” He is ranked as the No. 350 overall player and No. 37 edge rusher in the 247Sports composite ranking. He is also the No. 18 player from Louisiana. Contact/Follow us @TheAuburnWire on Twitter, and like our page on Facebook to follow ongoing coverage of Auburn news, notes, and opinion.

Sounds like Scott Frost and Nebraska weren't 110% back... But who knows? Auburn (Alabama) is a better fit for a kid from Louisiana than Nebraska.

Sizzle 3,909 Posted July 31, 2022 Share Posted July 31, 2022 This definitely the type of edge we need. Hopefully we pull him in. That tackle at the 0:50 mark was tough to look at. I’m pretty sure that kid got his arm dislocated and tore an ACL 🤢 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You look at UGA, Bama and those defenses are major parts to the team success. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BigBlueWDE 1,136 Posted July 31, 2022 Share Posted July 31, 2022 (edited) Well all indications are we will be up to seven 4* commits for the 2023 class real soon. The quality is there even if the quantity is worrisome, but I know all of us wish that number was double and we were still in it for some big names at this point. Hopefully the staff stays on a few that we were hoping for and the flips continue through the season. Edited July 31, 2022 by BigBlueWDE 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LPTiger 5,153 Posted July 31, 2022 Share Posted July 31, 2022 Boys and girls, we have seen this story written many times in the past... Auburn is going to crap the bed. Go ahead rival coaches and media, pick us dead last, I double eagle Aubie dare you. You let these experienced, united and motivated Tigers send a Nittany Lion off into that quite night... If that happens, trade your lap belt with shoulder strap in for a full on racing harness and buckle that sucker up -- tight, a'ight. This is where we see them fight with those demons, and become men. 3 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

HAPvsOA 283 Posted August 2, 2022 Share Posted August 2, 2022 Man, I keep refreshing my browser after each work call to get an update here. I was hoping his Nebraska de-commit meant an imminent AU commit, but it seems like the 2023 recruiting season is going to continue to be rough unless we get some tailwinds like going 5-0 to start the season.

It has literally been a couple of days. These are big decisions for these young men. The idea that he needs to impulsively commit is a major reason while NU is feeling the way they are now. He needs to take as much time as possible in his decision. I consider it a positive that coincidently after meeting with us, he decommitted from a University that he had an established relationship from. 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
