Notre Dame Continuing Hot Pursuit Of Georgia Cornerback Devin Williams

Star 2025 cornerback Devin Williams updates feelings on Notre Dame and his overall recruitment

Over the last week, the Notre Dame coaches have stopped at Buford (Ga.) High School during their travels. That is the home of 2025 cornerback Devin Williams, a player the Irish staff is very high on, and has been for some time now.

That included last week when both Marcus Freeman and Mike Mickens made the trip. On Monday, Mickens once again made the trip. Things have been chaotic for Williams, who is being pursued by a long list of impressive programs.

"The last few days have been crazy,” he told Irish Breakdown. "I have talked to a lot of schools and things are starting to run together.”

Notre Dame stopping by has been one of the best parts of the open period for Williams. He has developed a great relationship with the staff, and is excited to continue to develop that relationship moving forward.

"It was great to see the coaches,” Williams explained. "The fact that they came all the way to Buford, Georgia just to see me meant a lot to me. I have had a chance to talk with Coach Freeman and Coach Mickens frequently. It is a blessing to be in the position I am.

"I have a really good relationship with Coach Mickens and have talked and texted with Coach Freeman several times,” he continued. "I really appreciate them both. Notre Dame makes me feel like a priority and that’s all I can ask for.”

Williams was planning on visiting for Junior Day two weekends ago, but unfortunately travel issues due to the weather up north prevented that return. He is already finalizing a trip back during the team’s spring practice. Notre Dame is very much in the running and continuing to gain momentum with one of the more gifted cover men in the 2025 class.

As a junior, Williams put together a tremendous year for the Wolves. On defense, he recorded 21 total tackles, broke up five passes, recovered a fumble and blocked two kicks.

The 5-10, 165-pound athlete also made a variety of plays on the offensive side of the football. Williams hauled in 14 receptions for 392 yards and two touchdowns from 2024 Nebraska signee Dylan Raiola, good enough for a 28 yard per catch average.

The Georgia native is already being courted by some of the premier programs in all of college football. Some of Williams’ top offers so far include the Irish, Alabama, Georgia, Ohio State, Michigan, Texas, LSU, Penn State, Florida State, Florida, Texas A&M, Auburn, Tennessee, Colorado, NC State, Arkansas, Michigan State, South Carolina, Virginia Tech, Mississippi State, Georgia Tech, Pitt, Kentucky, Cincinnati, Arizona State, West Virginia, Duke, Wake Forest and UCF among others.

Williams is currently rated as a consensus four-star recruit and top 175 player in the class across every major recruiting platform. He ranks highest on the ESPN ranking, who has Williams pegged as the No. 71 overall player and the No. 9 cornerback in the 2025 recruiting class.
