A series of tweets sent by Auburn receiver D'haquille Williams put fans on high alert Wednesday night.



Auburn's leading returning receiver tweeted messages hinting at his future with the Tigers, prompting questions about his status at Auburn. The series of tweets were deleted later that night.



"Ion (sic) think This where I wanna be," he tweeted. "Have to see what my options is (sic) after my last exam."



Final exams at Auburn ended Friday.



Auburn coach Gus Malzahn said Monday he is well aware of the tweets.



"Kids are going to be kids," Malzahn said at the Northwest Alabama Regional Airport in Muscle Shoals. "We've got to do a better job with what we tweet out."



Williams, who was suspended from the Outback Bowl in January, tweeted "#NewBeginning," before four tweets concerning his future were deleted. Auburn receivers coach Dameyune Craig indirectly addressed the tweets the next morning with a message that included a picture of the assistant coach and the receiver sitting on a couch in his office. "Everything Gucci!" Craig tweeted.

Williams arrived at Auburn in the spring of 2014 with high expectations and delivered in his first season, finishing with 730 yards and five touchdowns in 10 games. A knee injury kept him out of two games near the end of the season.



Williams was suspended three days before the Outback Bowl, but he was allowed to participate in extracurricular activities with the team. Teammates said Williams had not been at practice when the Tigers practice in Auburn in December. Malzahn said Williams was sick Dec. 19 and declined to go into the details surrounding Williams' suspension when asked Dec. 29. During this time Williams shared a photo of himself with a black eye on Instagram, but that image was also quickly deleted from social media in late December.



"As a head coach I'm aware of everything as far that goes," Malzahn said of Williams on social media. "Like I said we have to do a better job in the future."
