DL Chris Williams of Tyrone, GA has a top five of Ole Miss, Tennessee, USC, Texas A&M and Ohio State in that order.

"I like South Carolina because I like coach (Deke) Adams and coach (Steve) Spurrier," said Williams. "Coach Spurrier seems like a real cool guy and I like the campus and the area. I like Columbia."

Ole Miss is the team to beat for this services. "I've got a real good relationship with their coaches," he said. " Williams plans to visit Ole Miss next week and does not have any other visits scheduled.

He does want to visit each of his top five before committing and plans to commit prior to the season. "I've been to Ohio State and I need to get back to Tennessee," said Williams. "I need to get out to A&M and I'll go back to South Carolina."
