SAF Seth Williams of Atlanta had planned to make his commitment announcement on July 3rd. He had narrowed his choices to Clemson, where he was once committed, and to Georgia. Then last week he posted on social media that he would not be able to meet that deadline on a decision. Now, he’s planning to make his commitment announcement sometime in mid-July.
“For me and my family, it was just like, I don’t want to make a decision too fast and rush it,” Williams said Sunday night. “Then it’d be like one of those where I got to decommit and things like that again, because nobody wants to go through that process again. I feel like I want to be good with everybody, and I also want to be good with myself with making this decision. At the end of the day, this is why I changed it, for Seth Williams. You could get another Seth. Well, I feel like I’m a one-of-a-kind talent, but next year you will get another Seth. Anybody can come play safety. Clemson, they’ll find somebody; Georgia, they’ll find somebody. But for me, I feel like I won’t get another chance on this. I won’t get another chance to make this decision. I won’t get another chance to live this moment with my family and really be able to sit down and have a decision like this again. So I feel like just taking time, talking to God, praying a lot, talking with my family, just keeping everything the main thing, keeping the outsiders out, and really just making it a decision for me and my family.”
Williams said other schools continue to reach out to him but he feels set with Clemson and Georgia as his final two. And he’s been hearing a lot from both staffs.
“For me, I feel like it’s relationships and also being able to be developed and go to the NFL because at the end of the day, that’s the main goal,” Williams said. “I’m going to keep the main thing, the main thing, and my goal is the NFL regardless of what school I go to. Whatever I got to do to get there, I’m going to do it. But it’s really just like, who furthers the opportunity for me to get there on that next level.”
As of Sunday night, Williams said he would have a hard time pinning the favorite tag on either program.
“It’s not 50-50, but it changes. The decision changes like every other day,” Williams said. “Once I get that time where it’s like, yeah, this is it, I’ll make my decision.”
