Former Auburn EDGE Amaris Williams suffers season-ending injury
Former Auburn defensive end Amaris Williams, now at Georgia, will miss the 2026 season after tearing his ACL.
A former Auburn defensive end has quickly experienced a setback at his new program. Graham Coffey of DawgsCentral reports that former Auburn EDGE rusher and current Georgia Bulldog, Amaris Williams, will miss the 2026 season. Coffey reports that Williams injured his knee in Tuesday's spring practice session, and an examination found that Williams has a torn ACL, which will take 9-12 months to recover from.
Williams transferred to Georgia following the coaching change from Hugh Freeze to Alex Golesh after two seasons on the Plains. He signed with Auburn as the No. 5 EDGE from the 2024 recruiting class and the No.
2 overall player from North Carolina. He originally chose Auburn over Georgia, Florida, and Ohio State, flipping from Florida to Auburn on signing day of 2023. Over two seasons in Auburn, Williams recorded 21 tackles with 2.
5 sacks. He ramped up his production over the final four games of the season by recording multiple tackles against Missouri, Kentucky, Vanderbilt, and Mercer after making just one tackle in each of the first five games of the season.
