AJ Williams to begin official visit to BYU

Five-star recruit AJ Williams is scheduled to begin an official visit to BYU on October 15. Williams, a 6-foot-7 wing from Eagle’s Landing Christian Academy in Georgia, is ranked as the No. 5 player in the 2027 class by 247 Sports and ESPN.

During his visit, Williams is expected to attend the BYU-Nebraska exhibition game and participate in College Gameday festivities. The recruiting effort is led by head coach Kevin Young, who aims to position BYU as a premier program for NBA preparation. Williams is projected as a potential lottery pick in the 2028 NBA Draft, following his reclassification from the 2028 to the 2027 class.

Williams has previously completed official visits to Auburn, Mississippi State, and Georgia. While industry sources suggest BYU is currently the front-runner, his home state of Georgia remains a competitor in the recruitment process.
