Published:
In the SEC’s first availability report of the week, Texas A&M linebacker Scooby Williams is officially designated as “questionable” ahead of the Aggies’ SEC matchup against the Auburn Tigers.
Williams sustained an injury during the matchup versus Notre Dame after intercepting a tipped pass late in the second quarter. He did not rerun to that game. Before the injury, Williams has recorded 5 tackles, 1 sack, 1 forced fumble, and 1 interception this season.
Prior to transferring to Texas A&M, Williams played for Florida across 3 seasons, accumulating 70 tackles in 25 games. In 2023 (at Florida), he had 52 tackles and contributed 5 quarterback hurries, as well as 2 forced fumbles and 1 sack.
The veteran linebacker will continue to be evaluated prior to the matchup, and according to Aggies’ head coach Mike Elko, Williams is day-to-day. Williams will definitely be a much-needed piece to the Aggies’ defense as they face a previously top-25 opponent who are looking to get back in the rankings.
Williams was not a part of last year’s chaotic ending in the matchup between the Aggies and Tigers that saw the Tigers defeat the Aggies 43-41 in overtime. Based on last year’s performance, this upcoming matchup could be another drama-packed game that will need all hands on deck.
Since the 2024 season, SEC football teams release 4 availability reports per week leading up to a conference game. This schedule is mandatory only for conference matchups. The reporting schedule for a Saturday SEC football game is as follows: Wednesday, Thursday, Friday, and Saturday 90 minutes before kickoff.
Given Williams’ appearance on Wednesday’s release, he will likely appear on all subsequent reports, including the one released 90 minutes before kickoff
