Auburn Thrives, Georgia Tests Depth After Williams' ACL Tear

0:00On April 6th, Amaris Williams, the linebacker who bounced from Auburn to Georgia, just suffered a torn ACL during spring practice with the Bulldogs. That means he sidelined for the whole 2026 season, killing any shot at a revenge game against his old team this year. He was a five-star prize for Hugh Freeze back in 2024, but only notch 21 tackles and 2.5 sacks over two seasons. Under DJ Darkin, Williams entered the portal in December 2025, right after Auburn named Alex Golesch head coach, then committed to Georgia on January 8th. Georgia s depth gets tested now, but Kirby smarts built some of the nation's elite defenses so they'll probably hold strong without him. Fans are bummed about losing that top talent early. Meanwhile, Auburn didn't skip a beat, stacking their defensive line with transfers like Cody Siggler, Nate Johnson, and Walter Mathis Jr. plus. Signing top Alabama prospect, Donovan Moore for 2027. The deep-south's oldest rivalry rolls on this fall without Williams suiting up, but a medical red shirt could set him up to face the Tigers twice down.
