Kalen DeBoer and the Alabama coaching staff are on an absolute roll in more ways than one.

Less than 48 hours after securing one of the most impressive wins of any team in the nation, taking down the Georgia Bulldogs at home in Sanford Stadium, the Crimson Tide received a bit of excellent news on the recruiting trail.

2027 4-Star interior offensive lineman Jatori Williams from Central High School in Phenix City, Alabama officially committed to Alabama on Monday, according to Andrew Bone of Rivals. He is the Tide's third commitment of the 2027 class, and the second in-state prospect of the group.

Standing at 6-foot-5, 320 lbs., Williams is ranked as the No. 6 player at his position in the nation and the No. 6 overall prospect in Alabama, according to 247Sports' composite ranking.

Through six games this season for Central High School, the behemoth offensive lineman has helped his team achieve an impressive 5-1 record by averaging over 50 points per game offensively.

Williams holds offers from the likes of Florida, Georgia, Mississippi State and many more, and has actually visited a handful of elite power four programs such as Clemson and Florida State. He's been to Tuscaloosa twice over the last few years, making his first trip in June of 2024 for the Tide's Junior Day, and then once again for A-Day in April.

With the addition of Williams, Alabama now sits at three commitments in the 2027 class, two of which are in-state prospects. With just a few months to go until the 2026 class reaches the early signing period, the Tide still looks to be trying to get an early jump on the following year, and has seemingly done so very well.
