In a stunning turn of events, Elyiss Williams, the highly sought-after 5-star tight end from the Class of 2025, has officially signed with Brigham Young University (BYU) over powerhouse programs like Clemson and Auburn. Williams, who is widely regarded as the top tight end prospect of his class, made the announcement today, shocking the college football world with his commitment to BYU.
The 6-foot-6, 240-pound playmaker had been heavily recruited by some of the top programs in the nation, including perennial College Football Playoff contenders Clemson and Auburn. Both teams had been heavily pursuing Williams, offering him the chance to play in high-profile offenses. However, it was BYU, under the guidance of head coach Kalani Sitake, that won out in the end, marking a major victory for the Cougars’ football program.
Williams’ decision is a significant one for BYU, as he will immediately bolster an already promising tight end room. Known for his exceptional athleticism, route-running ability, and sure hands, Williams is expected to become a key weapon in BYU’s offense as they continue to build on their success in the Big 12 Conference. His addition to the program not only brings immediate talent but also a level of prestige that will likely attract even more top-tier recruits to Provo in the coming years.
Clemson and Auburn’s loss is BYU’s gain, and Williams’ commitment is seen as a major coup for the Cougars as they continue to elevate their recruiting efforts. Fans of BYU are already eagerly anticipating the day Williams steps onto the field as one of the most highly touted prospects in college football.
