The college football recruiting trail is heating up, and one of the nation's top tight ends is ready to make his decision. Brock Williams, a four-star standout and the No. 4 tight end in the class of 2027, has announced he will commit on May 15. According to Greg Smith of Rivals, the 6-foot-5, 210-pound prospect from Libertyville High School in Illinois will choose between Georgia, Texas, and Ohio State.
Williams is more than just a big frame—he's the No. 95 overall recruit in the country, and his skill set has programs across the nation vying for his signature. While no official Crystal Ball predictions have been logged, Rivals' model leans toward Texas, despite Williams being geographically closest to Ohio State. For Georgia, he's a priority target, and the Bulldogs are no strangers to stacking elite talent at the position.
Let's break down the competition. Texas currently holds the No. 13 recruiting class nationally, headlined by five-star wide receiver Easton Royal. However, the Longhorns have yet to heavily invest in tight ends for 2027, with only three-star JT Geraci committed at the position. Ohio State, always a threat in the Midwest, will look to keep Williams close to home, but Georgia's tight end pipeline is hard to ignore.
The Bulldogs may have the No. 22 recruiting class overall, but they've already secured a commitment from five-star tight end Jaxon Dollar in this cycle. That's on top of a loaded room that includes blue-chip recruits from last class—Kaiden Prothro, Lincoln Keyes, and Brayden Fogle—plus returning talent like Lawson Luckie, Elyiss Williams, Ethan Barbour, and Jaden Redell. Clearly, Georgia tight ends coach Todd Hartley has been putting in the work to build a fortress at the position.
As May 15 approaches, all eyes will be on Williams. Will he join Georgia's tight end dynasty, help Texas bolster its class, or stay close to home with Ohio State? Either way, this is a name to watch for years to come.
