AJ Williams has been regarded by many as a prospect that could play in the NBA almost immediately.
On Tuesday, Aug. 4, he took one-step towards that goal as the nation's top 2028 recruit reclassified to the 2027 class, according to On3's Joe Tipton.
Williams is the latest top prospect to reclassify up a class. That list includes four players who ended up being drafted first overall: AJ Dybantsa, Cooper Flagg, Karl-Anthony Towns and Andrew Wiggins.
Other recent notable names to reclassify are Marcus Spears Jr., Bruce Branch III, Adan Diggs, Alijah Arenas, Baba Oladotun and Obinna Ekezie Jr.
According to 247Sports and the USA TODAY Sports composite ranking, the 6-foot-8, 210-pounder was the undisputed No. 1 overall prospect in the country for his class.
He's coming off of a summer where he played for Team CP3 on the EYBL Circuit and averaged 19.3 points and 7.9 rebounds per game while shooting 42% from the floor. Williams also won a gold medal playing for Team USA Basketball in the FIBA U17 AmeriCup.
At the high school level, he was easily one of the best players in the state of Georgia last season. He led Eagle's Landing Christian Academy to a 19-12 record, averaging 31.8 points and 12.7 rebounds.
Williams has not narrowed down his list of top schools yet, but he holds offers from nearly every major Power Four program and has taken visits to Auburn, Duke and Georgia Tech.
