Hoover linebacker Darrell Williams verbally committed to Auburn Wednesday morning.

Williams, a 6-foot-3, 223-pound four-star prospect, announced his commitment on Twitter.

Williams chose the Tigers over scholarship offers from Alabama and Oklahoma. Williams told AL.com earlier this week that Auburn and Oklahoma had moved ahead of Alabama in his mind.

His teammate, Christian Bell, recently committed to Alabama.

Williams is rated as the nation's No. 16 outside linebacker and No. 214 prospect, according to 247Composite. Rivals rates him as the nation's No. 7 outside linebacker and No. 102 overall prospect.

Last year, Williams had 61 tackles and 13 tackles for loss. He has impressed coaches with 4.59 40-yard speed and smart playmaking ability. He is expected to play outside linebacker at the next level, but might play some inside linebacker at Hoover next season.

"I've tried to work on getting quicker in the open space and open field and I tried to work on playing in the interior-wise because people are looking at me at that and my coach said I might have to play more inside this year," Williams said.

He is the 13th commitment for Auburn's class of 2015. He was rated the No. 4 player in the state in
