Alabama football lost a member of its 2026 wide receiver room.

Brian Williams Jr., a three star out of Orlando, Florida, ended his commitment to Alabama’s 2026 recruiting class, flipping to Auburn Wednesday, Dec. 3, per 247Sports.

Williams committed to the Crimson Tide July 1, 2025. He is the No. 1,051 player and the No. 149 wide receiver in the 2026 class per 247Sports’ composite rankings.

“When he called me, I could tell right away, it’s a business,” Williams told The Tuscaloosa News in July of his first impression of JaMarcus Shephard and Alabama. “I’m not going to sugarcoat nothing. When you go there, it’s time to work. If you don’t perform, you’re out. You know, it’s just work, work, work. He was very straightforward with everything. … And I appreciated that.”

With Williams out of the class, Alabama is left with Alabama four star wide receiver Cederian Morgan.
