Oklahoma native Gentry Williams, a four-star athlete in the 2022 class from Tulsa’s Booker T. Washington, will announce his college commitment live Monday at 3:45 p.m. ET on CBS Sports HQ. You can watch the announcement live in the video at the top of this page, on the CBS Sports App or via your connected device (Roku, Amazon Fire, Apple TV). 

Williams is ranked as the No. 37 overall prospect in the cycle and the No. 1 player from the state in the 247Sports Composite rankings. He is choosing between Oklahoma, Florida, LSU and USC, with the Sooners positioned to scoop up the in-state star more than two years after becoming the second school to offer him a scholarship.

A 6-foot, 170-pound athlete, Williams was at one time viewed as a top-10 player in his class as a standout quarterback and cornerback for Booker T. Washington. Williams tore his ACL in the first game of his junior season last year, which hurt his stock, but he has maintained his status as a top-40 prospect because of his speed and athleticism. Here’s what 247Sports’ Gabe Brooks said of Williams after evaluating him last year:

Lean, athletic build that could translate to multiple spots at the college level. Owns some frame space to continue adding bulk. Versatile athlete. High school QB and DB whose ceiling is likely highest in the secondary. Primarily plays QB but put some good snaps on tape at corner as a sophomore. Flashes impressive burst coupled with track-verified top-end speed. Oklahoma 6A state champion in 400 meters (47.70) and runner-up in 200 meters (21.14) as a freshman. Displays plus agility to make the first defender miss. Fluidity also shows at corner. Shows impressive turn-and-run ability. Good ball skills for a long-term DB prospect thanks to offensive experience. Adding bulk/strength and continued coverage technique development keys moving forward. Dynamic athlete with a high developmental ceiling at corner. High-major recruit with multi-year starter capability who could develop into an early-round NFL Draft prospect.

Nearly all the crystal ball predictions at 247Sports have Williams staying in-state and signing with the Sooners, and he’s coming off an official visit to Norman last month. His commitment would move OU from No. 8 to No. 7 in the Composite team rankings.
