Auburn’s ‘Freeze 5’ Faces Shift as 5-Star Receiver Williams Departs Alabama Commitment

The 2024 Auburn class includes five-star receivers Cam Coleman and Perry Thompson, four-star Malcolm Simmons, and Bryce Cain. This skilled bunch, known as the “Freeze 5,” is expected to boost Auburn’s offensive. However, Williams’ absence depletes this strong lineup.

Williams was a flip prospect for Auburn before his de-commitment from Alabama, and Auburn is now a serious contender for the talented receiver. The Auburn recruiting class is now in the top 10, and Williams’ commitment might boost it to the top five.

Williams’ final official visit is to Auburn, and he’ll decide on his birthday, February 9. His commitment process is unique due to his timing, which excites Auburn and others.
