Ryan Williams Reaffirms Alabama Return Ahead of Rose Bowl Quarterfinal

His pledge comes one day before the transfer portal reopens.

Overview

  • The sophomore wideout said he has "no intentions of being anywhere else," publicly rejecting transfer speculation before the postseason game.
  • His 2025 line sits at 43 receptions for 636 yards and four touchdowns, a clear drop from his breakout freshman year.
  • ESPN tracking shows 10 drops and a 14.3% drop rate, the second-highest nationally, which has undercut his impact.
  • Recent usage has dipped with just three catches for 38 yards over the last three games, including no receptions vs. Auburn and one catch for five yards against Oklahoma.
  • Coach Kalen DeBoer and teammates praised his approach and said Alabama plans to be intentional about getting him touches against No. 1 Indiana in the Rose Bowl.
