USC offers four-star Missouri DL commit Elias Williams
On Tuesday, USC extended a new offer to Hudson (Fla.) four-star defensive lineman and current Missouri commit Elias Williams.
Williams is the No. 556 overall prospect and No. 52 DL in the 2024 cycle, according to the On3 Industry Ranking, a weighted average that utilizes all four major recruiting media companies. On3 ranks Williams higher than other recruiting services, as he checks in the updated On300 as a four-star and the No. 262 recruit.
On3 ranks Williams much higher, tabbing him as the No. 262 overall prospect and No. 24 defensive lineman.
The 6-foot-4, 275-pounder committed to Mizzou on Sept. 1, choosing the Tigers over Florida State, Indiana, and UCF. His recruitment has continued, however.
Williams is scheduled to make a return visit to Missouri this weekend, but is also aiming to take a trip to Tuscaloosa to visit Alabama when they take on LSU on Nov. 4. Tennessee has also offered recently, which was followed by an unofficial visit. He is now planning an official visit to the Vols later this year.

USC will work to get in the mix, hoping to get Williams to Los Angeles for a visit. With him entertaining other schools and visiting elsewhere, it appears his recruitment is open to anybody at this time.
Williams is Mizzou’s sixth highest-ranked pledge in the Tigers’ 2024 class, which ranks No. 33 in the nation and No. 15 in the SEC, according to the On3 Industry Team Recruiting Ranking. Eli Drinkwtiz’ pledge list includes Lee’s Summit (Mo.) North Five-Star Plus+ EDGE Williams Nwaneri, the No. 2 overall prospect in the cycle.
Williams does not currently have an On3 NIL Valuation. The On3 NIL Valuation is the industry’s leading index that sets high school and college athletes’ projected annual value (PAV). The NIL valuation does not act as a tracker of the value of NIL deals an athlete has completed to date. It rather signifies an athlete’s value at a certain moment in time.
