Auburn flips three-star RB Khamoni Williams from Big 12 program
Article excerpt
Auburn adds another running back to its 2027 recruiting class on Sunday after flipping Khamoni Williams from West Virginia.
Father's Day may be coming to an end, but Sunday is just starting to heat up for the Auburn Tigers on the recruiting trail.
Shortly after three-star athlete Preston Williams announced his commitment to Auburn, three-star running back Khamoni Williams did the same. Williams, a native of Memphis, flipped his pledge from West Virginia to Auburn following a weekend visit to the Plains.
Williams, who committed to West Virginia just over two weeks ago on June 12, took a "secret" official visit to Auburn over the weekend, according to Auburn Undercover's Christian Clemente, and is now the third running back committed to Auburn's 2027 class, joining Kingston Miles and Myson Johnson-Cook.
Williams burst onto the scene as a 10th grader by rushing for 1,151 yards and 13 touchdowns at Memphis Business Academy. His numbers slightly dipped in 2025, but were still impressive. He rushed for 892 yards and rushed over 100 yards five times as an 11th grader and scored seven touchdowns.
He is also a threat in the passing game. Over the last two seasons, Williams has hauled in 28 catches for 405 yards and five scores. This season, he will play for Southwind High School in Memphis.
He is a consensus three-star running back according to Rivals, ESPN, and 247Sports. Rivals Industry Rating puts him at No. 40 among 2027 running backs and in the No. 22 slot among Tennessee recruits.
Auburn now boasts the No. 9 recruiting class, according to 247Sports, and No. 12 in Rivals' rankings.
