Jaylin Williams has truly excelled over his fifth year with the Tigers. In one of the biggest wins for Auburn this year, Williams and Johni Broome combined for a jaw-dropping 50 points to take down the Alabama Crimson Tide 99-81.

While he doesn’t lead the team in any of the stat columns, his production levels are nothing to scoff at.

Averaging 12.9 points and 4.4 rebounds per game throughout the regular season, Williams is set to put up impressive numbers in the SEC Tournament.

As Williams and his team continue to grow more comfortable in the postseason, I expect him to step into an ever-growing role for the Tigers and eventually be a critical part of their deep run in the NCAA Tournament.
