G.W. Long (Skipperville, Ala.) athlete Preston Williams<\/a> has committed to Auburn.<\/p>\n

Williams, who earned an Auburn offer at a summer camp, announced his decision Sunday on social media. <\/p>\n

\u201cI want to thank God for guiding me every step of this journey,\u201d Williams said. \u201cMy parents always taught me to live a faithful life in God, and to honor Him in all I do! Phillippians 4:13 \u2018I can do all things through Christ who strengthens me.\u2019<\/p>\n

\u201cToday, that faith and hard work have lead me to a dream come true. I am blessed and honored to announce my commitment to Auburn University. Thank you to everyone who has supported me on this journey. Especially my parents for always believing in me! Truly, I\u2019ve always been an Auburn man! I Love Auburn and believe in it! War Eagle!\u201d<\/p>\n

Williams\u2019s commitment comes after taking an official visit to Auburn June 19-21.<\/p>\n

\u201cI enjoyed the conversations with the coaches, just seeing how they do stuff,\u201d Williams said. \u201cThey are competitors and I\u2019m a competitor. I\u2019m a football player. Coach (Tim) Banks, Coach Buddy (Brosky) and Coach (Jake) Springer, I had lunch, sat down and talked to them.<\/p>\n

\u201cWe were talking about different stuff other than just football. We talked about life, what we like to do outside of sports. It was really good. They are like me, chilled and laid back, but when it\u2019s time for business, they are about business.\u201d<\/p>\n

Williams is listed at 6-foot-2 and 190 pounds. He is Auburn\u2019s 21st commitment in the 2027 class.<\/p>\n
