WVU Defensive Back Target Commits to Big 12 Foe

The Mountaineers lose out on 2025 athlete.

Last week, class of 2025 athlete Tony Williams (6'1", 190 lbs) of Palm Beach Central in West Palm Beach, Florida released his top six schools. Eight days later, he has settled on a college destination.

Williams chose UCF over Arkansas, Florida State, Pitt, Rutgers, and West Virginia.

Williams was being recruited to West Virginia to play defensive back and planned on making an unofficial visit at the start of April. 

As a junior, Williams recorded 22 tackles, 16 pass breakups, and five interceptions.

With Williams off the board, other defensive back recruits to keep an eye on include Zae Thomas, Zah Jackson, Dawayne Galloway, Renick Dorilas, Keon Young, and Cam Strong.
