4-Star Alabama QB Flips Commitment to Arkansas in Shocking Move
In a surprising twist to college football recruiting, four-star quarterback recruit, **Xavier Williams**, has flipped his commitment from the University of Alabama to the University of Arkansas. The 6-foot-4, 210-pound signal-caller, who had been committed to the Crimson Tide since last summer, shocked the recruiting world with the announcement of his decision to join the Razorbacks on Wednesday.
Williams, a highly sought-after prospect from Birmingham, Alabama, had been considered one of the top quarterbacks in the 2025 recruiting class. His decision to decommit from Alabama and pledge to Arkansas sent shockwaves through both fanbases, with many speculating on the factors behind the sudden change.
“I’ve spent a lot of time thinking about my future and where I want to be for the next chapter of my career,” Williams said in a statement on social media. “After visiting Arkansas again, I felt a deep connection with Coach Pittman, Coach Enos, and the program’s vision. I’m excited for what’s to come, and I can’t wait to get to work in Fayetteville.”
Arkansas head coach Sam Pittman, who has been rebuilding the Razorbacks’ program, was quick to celebrate the addition of Williams. “Xavier is a dynamic playmaker with the talent and mindset we need to elevate our offense,” Pittman stated. “We’re thrilled to have him as a part of the Razorback family.”
The move comes as a blow to Alabama, which had been viewed as the favorite to land Williams for months. The Crimson Tide will now turn their focus to securing other top quarterbacks in the 2025 class. For Arkansas, landing Williams is a major coup, marking a significant milestone in their efforts to compete at the highest level in the SEC.
