One of the most anticipated announcements in the 2014 recruiting class has finally arrived.

St. Paul’s 4-star linebacker Tre’ Williams has chosen to commit to Auburn over Alabama and USC.

It was originally believed that Williams would wait until the 2013 regular season to make his announcement, but like his teammate/fellow Auburn-commit Josh Casher, he wanted to get the pressure of deciding out of the way.

Williams credited both Alabama and USC as great programs, but said that Auburn was the best option for him.

Some would suggest that the decision came down to either Alabama or Auburn, but USC was just as much in the mix.

Former Mobile-star/Auburn assistant coach Dameyune Craig should be credited with being able to land one of the nation’s top linebacker recruits for the 2014 class, which marks the second 4-star linebacker from the Mobile-area to commit to Auburn this offseason.

Auburn now has three 4-star commits from the Mobile-area this offseason in Vigor Linebacker Deshaun Davis, St. Paul’s Offensive Lineman Josh Casher, and now Williams.
