The nation’s top-ranked JUCO wide receiver in 2013, Duke Williams was supposed to be the next great offensive threat in the SEC when he signed with Auburn as the centerpiece of a star-studded recruiting class.

Just over two years later, his SEC career’s over and his NFL stock plummeting.

We’ve included a brief timeline of Williams’ strange career, which has featured many ups and downs on the Plains over the last two seasons.

April 2014: Burst onto the scene a few months after signing during Auburn’s spring game with 88 yards receiving and a touchdown, showing glimmers of extreme athleticism and jumping ability for a wide-open offense.

November 2014: Wrapped up his first season with four 100-yard games in 10 starts, highlighted by a record-setting performance in the opener against Arkansas. Primed to be one of bowl season’s top wideouts after recording seven receptions for 121 yards in the Iron Bowl, Williams’ downfall was soon to begin.

December 2014: Gus Malzahn suspends Williams for Auburn’s upcoming Outback Bowl matchup against Wisconsin, details unknown. Williams later issues an apology for being selfish and letting down his team. That was his first strike.

May 2014: Frustrated at Auburn, Williams tweeted: “Ion (sic) think This where I wanna be. Have to see what my options is (sic) after my last exam.” It was soon deleted. The next day, Auburn assistant Dameyune Craig tweets that everything is fine and Williams had a misunderstanding. Malzahn later commented on the cryptic message. This is another strike, perhaps call it 1.5.

August 2015: A no-show during the first week of fall camp, Williams was being held out for ‘personal reasons’ (a suspension) until he figured out whether or not he wanted to play at Auburn this season. Malzahn gave him another chance and he rejoined the team on Aug. 13. No tolerance policy instituted and Williams is down to his last chance.

October 2015: Malzahn’s had enough. Williams is dismissed with the announcement coming on a Monday night at 10 p.m. EST. “When individuals fail to meet the expectations of our program, there has to be consequences,” Malzahn’s statement read. “I gave D’haquille the chance to prove himself. I am disappointed that it did not work out.”
