Southwind football running back Khamoni Williams has committed to Auburn, he announced via social media.
He had committed to West Virginia on June 12, but flipped to first-year coach Alex Golesh's program after taking an official visit to Auburn on June 19. Williams made his announcement the night of June 21.
Williams is a three-star recruit ranked as Tennessee's No. 24 player in the 2027 class. The 5-foot-11, 205-pound athlete ranks as The Commercial Appeal's No. 1 running back entering the 2026 TSSAA season.
The Jaguars' running back previously played at Class 2A Memphis Business Academy, where he led the Execs on multiple TSSAA playoff runs and was an All-Metro third-team selection in 2025.
In 10 games, Williams rushed for 892 yards and seven touchdowns on just 84 carries while also making 17 receptions for 263 yards and two scores. His athleticism and physicality also were assets on defense, where he made 66 tackles, including 15 tackles for loss, and had 10 sacks.
He'll now take over as a featured option in a revamped Southwind offense that will be without Mr. Football winner Kelvin Perkins at quarterback and a number of now-graduated veterans at running back and wide receiver. Williams will run behind one of the state's top offensive lines, which is led by recent Ole Miss commit Antonio Keefer.
Southwind begins its 2026 season at home vs. Lausanne on Aug. 21.
