The Indiana Hoosiers received a verbal commitment from three-star wide receiver Jordyn Williams on Friday afternoon. Williams, out of Westover High School in Albany, Georgia made his announcement on Twitter. He chose the Hoosiers over Power Five offers from Alabama, Kansas, Louisville, Maryland, Mississippi State, Ole Miss, Rutgers, Tennessee, Wake Forest and Washington State. According to 247 Sports, Williams’ decision came down to Indiana and Louisville.

Williams is the sixth commitment of Indiana’s 2021 recruiting class. He is rated as a three-star (85.76) prospect by 247 Sports Composite ranking. According to ESPN’s 2021 recruiting rankings, Williams is rated as a four-star prospect. He is listed at six-foot-one and 180 pounds. He will be transferring to Trinity Christian, which is coached by Deion Sanders in Dallas, Texas next fall.

Williams’ statement on Twitter read:

First off I want to thank the Man above for all the blessings that have been given to me. I also want to thank my friends and family that have been with me along the way pushing me to be the best that I could be in everything I do. I want to thank all of my coaches that have coached me to be the player I am today. Finally I want to thank my pops for shaping me into the man I am becoming today. After talking it over with my family and coaches I am beyond blessed to say I am 100% committed to Indiana University…Go Hoosiers

As a junior, Williams put up big numbers at Westover. He made 84 catches for 1,278 yards and 12 touchdowns. He shows good instincts and great ball skills. He is physical in the run game, which is a coveted attribute at the next level.

In an article that was published prior to his junior season by the Albany Herald, Williams calls football “a good way to release some aggression in a good way. It helps you learn how to deal with some of the tough things that happen in life.”

The Hoosiers 2021 class stands at six commitments and ranks 51st nationally.
