Wide receiver Devon Williams is transferring to Oregon — not Oregon State as that school announced Thursday — after an apparent change of heart.
Williams, who left the Southern California program two games into the season, made the announcement on Twitter on Friday. And while Oregon did not announce Williams’ commitment, the football program’s Twitter account shared Williams’ tweet.
“I know in my heart that this is where I belong and I cannot wait to be playing in Autzen Stadium wearing Green and Yellow,” Williams wrote, in part.
Williams, the No. 1-rated high school athlete in the 2018 recruiting class, will have three years of eligibility remaining after sitting out the rest of the 2019 season.
The 6-foot-4 Williams had four receptions for 87 yards and a touchdown, and also returned a blocked punt for a score as a Trojans freshman in 2018. His best game came at Oregon State with three catches for 77 yards and a TD.
He played in one game this season, catching one pass for 11 yards against Stanford on Sept. 7.
Rivals rated Williams the No. 1 athlete and 247Sports rated him the nation’s No. 6 wide receiver when he was a senior at Antelope Valley High School in Lancaster, Calif.
