Tyreek Williams, a 6-1, 205-pound three-star linebacker from Timber Creek (Erial, N.J.), has committed to Rutgers after decommitting from Buffalo, Monday.

Williams was expected to commit this weekend while on his official visit to Rutgers, but after talking things over with his family, he realized there was no reason to wait.

"(I was) talking with family and they felt as though this was the best decision for me and the best opportunity to take," Williams told NJ.com. "They are looking at it like it's close, I already wanted to be there. So why not just make the decision right now, because you already know this is what you have always wanted. And I was like, 'You're right,' so I went on and made the decision."

Williams is Rutgers second commitment of the day following 6-5, 180-pound three-star quarterback Tylin Oden out of Spring Hill (Columbia, Tenn).

The Knights currently have 15 players committed to their 2016 recruiting class, four of which are already on campus as early enrollees.
