Four-star running back Jonathan Williams of Allen, Texas, confirmed Wednesday has decomitted from Missouri to explore other options.
Williams, ranked No. 16 among running backs nationally, said Missouri’s recent move from the Big 12 to the SEC did not play a major role in his decision to decommit. He said he is looking to play at a school a little closer to home. Because of that reason, Arkansas is now tops on his list of schools.
“Arkansas is closer,” Williams said via text message. “I haven’t committed, but they’re my leader.”
