"Yes, I committed," he said. "It was a nice place. They have a nice campus and all of that."
From a football standpoint, Williams was equally impressed.
"They are building a program," he said. "They had nice facilities and everybody down there was very nice. There are a few players I know there and it's going to be a good program."
He sat down and talked with Golden Knights head coach George O'Leary before leaving Orlando.
"He told me I am going to get better after I put on a little weight," Williams said. "He recruits guys that he expects to start his freshman year."
O'Leary and the UCF assistants explained how they plan to use the 5-foot-10, 165-pounder.
"I'm going to be a kick returner, a punt returner and a slot receiver," he said.
Williams, who also held offers from Southeast Louisiana and Louisiana Tech, added that he is finished with official visits and is excited about heading to UCF.
Williams is a two-star rated recruit by Rivals.com and is the second player from Lutcher known to be heading to Division I-A. Defensive tackle Rolando Melancon is committed to Tennessee.
