2023 Ole Miss Signee Ayden Williams Opens Up About Recruitment During Under Armor Camp

2023 receiver Ayden Williams talked about his decision to sign with the Ole Miss Rebels.

ORLANDO, Fla. -- While 2023 receiver Ayden Willaims was committed to the Ole Miss Rebels going into early signing day, the LSU Tigers made a serious last-minute run for the talented wideout out of Mississippi.

While at the Under Armor Camp this week in Orlando, SI All-American's John Garcia Jr. caught up with a few other Ole Miss signees and talked to Williams about his recruitment and the late push from LSU.

"[LSU] definitely made a real run," Williams said. "I went to Louisiana a couple of times on visits to get a feel for the campus, the culture, and the players over there. [LSU] was a real thing at one point."

The Ridgeland, Miss., native continued about why he ultimately decided to stay in his home state.

"I just felt like a priority [at Ole Miss]," Williams said. "Some schools have a tendency to take care of their in-state kids and I just felt like I would get the best development from Ole Miss."

Williams, the No. 2 recruit in the state of Mississippi, also opened up about his relationship with fellow 2023 signee Suntarine Perkins, the No. 1 recruit in the Magnolia State this year.

"Yeah me and [Perkins] are trying to turn the whole thing around," Williams said. "That's my guy, Perk is a dog. We've got a great relationship, we played in the Mississippi-Alabama game together."
