Miami, Mario Cristobal lock in a June visit with a stud Alabama decommit

Mario Cristobal will always be in the picture for top offensive line prospects, and it looks like he's trying to reel another big fish in.

Former Alabama commit Jatori "JT" Williams has locked in some official visits and will be taking a trip to see the Miami Hurricanes on June 5. Williams is a composite four-star prospect from Phenix City, Alabama. He committed to the Crimson Tide in September, but backed away from that pledge in December. 

Williams has announced three official visits and the Hurricanes trip is sandwiched in between visits to Georgia (May 29th) and FSU (June 12).

The announcement comes hours after Williams announced his top nine schools which also include Florida, Auburn, Alabama, Kentucky, Tennessee and Missouri. Williams is expected to hold off on any commitment announcements until at least the end of the summer.

Miami will be looking for another big haul on the offensive line and Williams is one of many elite prospects the Hurricanes staff will be courting over the next several months. The biggest offensive line target on the board is five-star tackle Mark Matthews, who plays right down I-95 at St. Thomas Aquinas.

Cristobal is ready to ramp up the recruiting efforts for the 2027 class. This comes on the heels of a playoff run to the CFP Championship game, a top-10 high school recruiting class that included five-star tackle Jackson Cantwell and a top-five transfer portal class that will welcome former Duke quarterback Darian Mensah and former Missouri edge rusher Damon Wilson II to Coral Gables. 

The Hurricanes have four commitments in the 2027 recruiting class already — all four are in-state prospects that pledged to Miami during or before the summer of 2025. Four-star defensive back Jaylyn Jones, four-star wide receiver Ah'Mari Stevens, three-star edge rusher Demarcus Deroche and three-star offensive lineman Zaquan Linton.
