Watch out, Kentucky: Alabama looks to be coming for Cats QB commit, again

Published:
Dual-threat QB Jarren Williams has been committed to Kentucky since June 19, but that’s not stopping other SEC schools from recruiting him. Missouri, Tennessee, LSU and Florida all offered Williams over the past three months, but it’s the most recent offer that will likely worry coach Mark Stoops and Big Blue Nation.
Williams told his Twitter followers that Alabama offered him a scholarship on Tuesday:

Kentucky certainly hopes this isn’t a Mac Jones scenario all over again. Jones, a pro-style quarterback out of Jacksonville, Fla., originally committed to Kentucky on July 27, 2015. Alabama offered Jones on April 10, 2016, and managed to get him to flip his commitment and pledge to the Crimson Tide on June 7. Jones stuck with that commitment and enrolled early at UA. The Wildcats have also lost out to the Crimson Tide in recent recruiting battles for elite Bluegrass State prospects RB Damien Harris and OL Jedrick Wills.
Williams, a Central Gwinnet (Lawrenceville, Ga.) product measuring 6-foot-2, 206 pounds, is rated the No. 18 dual-threat quarterback and the No. 49 Georgia recruit by the 247Sports Composite.
