But a source in Auburn's program with direct knowledge of the situation told WNML that Williams was sent home early after he was caught smoking marijuana. Williams said that isn't true.

"Not at all," he told Sports Radio WNML. Williams said he believes that's a story created by people associated with Auburn.

"That's how people get when you don't want to do something, they try to put bad word out on you, rumors and stuff," he said. "I just let them put rumors out on me and people are going to believe what they want to believe because they have their own opinion."

So why did Williams leave early? "I just didn't want to be there anymore," he said. "I was ready to go home. I was forced into the visit."

Williams said he made a late decision to take a trip to Auburn after coaches visited him on Thursday. "I didn't plan on going," he said.

Williams said it's true that he was wearing Tennessee apparel during the trip, which he said upset Auburn staff members. "They told me to take it off," he said. "They were getting mad." Williams, who has been committed to Tennessee since Sept. 2013, plans to visit Knoxville this weekend and sign with the Vols on Feb. 4.
