UGA 2021 Recruiting: Georgia makes top-5 for #1 Safety, James Williams

The 6'5 safety from Opa Locka, Florida was once a Miami commit, today he's got UGA in his top-5. With Crystal Ball predictions favoring Georgia as well.

James Williams is a talent that I can truly say, I've never seen before. The easy comparison becomes Kam Chancellor, but even he is two inches from the 5-star prospect out of Western High School.

Williams began receiving his first offers as a Freshman in high school at American Heritage, and by the time the spring of his Freshman year rolled around he was a Miami commit. A dream come true for most kids from South Florida. 

But he's since changed his mind, de-committing back in May of this year, opening the doors to programs such as Clemson, Alabama, Georgia, and Auburn. While keeping Miami in the loop. 

I can only imagine the type of things Williams will be able to do on any collegiate program, let alone a defensive system that highlights and calls upon their defensive backs and playmakers like Georgia's. It's no wonder Richard LeCounte and J.R. Reed's names are called a lot on Saturday's, they are asked to shoulder a lot. 

You watch a lot of high school highlight tapes doing a job like this, and it's rare that you turn on a tape and never need the flashing arrow or circle that the fine folks over there at Hudl provide. 

It's clear exactly where Williams is on the field at all times. Lurking in the secondary, making highlight plays and shattering hits. Then comfortably moving into the box when need be without even a semblance of a step back. 

If you haven't had a chance to see what this young man can do on the football field, take the time to check it out. 

#1 Safety in the nation, James Williams
