quote:
This summer, Kyrian Gray, who is Williams’ 16-year old cousin, was shot and killed at a house party. The Mississippi Gulf Coast star wide receiver has lost two cousins and a close friend in the last year to alleged gang-related violence.
He had reason to believe his life was in danger too.
It’s a big reason why the nation’s top-ranked junior college player signed with Auburn on Wednesday over LSU, the hometown school that recruited him for years.
“That had a lot of impact on it,” Williams said. “Being close to home at LSU, it’s like 30 minutes away from home and I know my friends are going to want to come see me. I don’t want them getting in trouble and I don’t want to get in trouble. ... It’s good to get away from home. It was really to stay out of trouble.”
WDE24 was convinced LSU fans were making all that up

Regardless, this isn't the first time a recruit has signed with a school away from his home town, to get away from a rough past.

quote:No. I was convinced that his cousin's murder wasnt the reason he flipped. I was convinced that there wasn't such a specific and serious threat on his life as to prevent him from going to LSU. The reason is that his cousins death occurred before he ever committed to LSU in the first place and because he returned home and to LSU several times after the alleged death threat.

He may have wanted to avoid trouble by getting away from home, but that wasn't the story you and other fans were buying and trying to sell.
