Justin Williams set to commit: Which of final 4 schools will land nation's No. 1 linebacker? /

The nation's top linebacker has set a commitment date and a final four.

Conroe Oak Ridge (Texas) senior Justin Williams will choose between Alabama, Texas, Georgia and Oregon on Monday at 7 p.m. Central time, according to On3's Hayes Fawcett.

The 6-foot-2, 205-pound linebacker is perhaps the top uncommitted prospect in Texas, and is the nation's No. 1 linebacker, No. 3 overall prospect in Texas and No. 11 nationally according to the 247 Sports Composite.

And it appears Williams could be headed to Georgia what's believed to be a two-school competition between coach Kirby Smart's Bulldogs and the Oregon Ducks.

Recruiting media outlets 247 Sports and On3 lean with predictions to the two-time defending national champion Georgia Bulldogs, while Rivals gives the Oregon Ducks the slight edge.

Williams was the District 13-6A Defensive Player of the Year after after recording 105 tackles (18 for loss) and 8.5 sacks as a junior. His teammate at Conroe Oak Ridge, four-star defensive back Joseph Jonah-Ajonye, committed to Georgia in early July.

The commitment will be streamed live on On3's YouTube channel:
