Williams had 12 catches for 147 yards and a touchdown in five games this season.
He had 45 catches for 730 yards and five touchdowns last season after arriving as a junior college transfer. Williams was suspended before the Outback Bowl last season for a violation of team rules.
Auburn has an open date this week. The Tigers’ next game is at Kentucky on a Thursday night, Oct. 15, on ESPN.
