To this point, Williams has taken unofficial visits to Duke, Auburn, and Georgia Tech. He says he’s currently in the midst of scheduling several official visits.
He is ranked as the No. 4 overall recruit in the 2027 class and the No. 2 ranked small forward, according to the Rivals Industry Ranking, an average of all three major recruiting media companies (Rivals, ESPN, 247Sports).
Williams reclassified from the 2028 class into 2027 earlier this summer. He averaged 31.8 points and 12.7 rebounds per game as a sophomore last season for Eagles Landing (GA).
This summer, he played for Team CP3 on the EYBL Circuit, where he averaged 19.3 points, 7.9 rebounds, and 1.1 assists per game while shooting 41.8% from the field and 31.1% from three. He also won a gold medal with USA Basketball during the FIBA U17 AmeriCup.
Prior to cutting his list down, he received offers from UConn, USC, Kansas, Florida State, Alabama, Miami, Tennessee, Vanderbilt, Louisville, Indiana, and others.
Williams Scouting Report
Rivals’ National Recruiting Analyst Jamie Shaw has evaluated AJ Williams on many occasions. Here’s what he previously wrote about his game:
AJ Williams brings a mature approach to the game. Positional size, listed at 6-foot-7, he has quality length and explosive athletic pop. He is the top-ranked player in the 2028 recruiting cycle, and he is a shot-maker. Someone who is comfortable being at the top of a scouting report, and still getting to his spots at multiple levels and finishing plays. He is not a super-dynamic or super-flashy player, but instead, he is steady, plays with a purpose, and rebounds in his area. Williams was second on last summer’s U16 USA Basketball team in minutes and third in scoring. There is a lot of depth at his position, but it would also not surprise to see the team provide some different lineups that get their five best players, regardless of position, on the floor at the same time.
