Ryan Williams Recommits to Alabama After Nick Saban's Retirement

Williams credits high school coach and teammate for guiding him through a turbulent recruitment process.

Nick Saban's sudden retirement initially led Ryan Williams to decommit from Alabama, throwing his recruitment into disarray.
High school coach Jeff Kelly played a pivotal role in convincing Williams to reconsider Alabama under new head coach Kalen DeBoer.
Teammate Jaylen Mbakwe's decision to stay with Alabama also influenced Williams to remain with the Crimson Tide.
Under DeBoer's leadership, Alabama's offense has thrived, with Williams recording 37 receptions for 731 yards as a freshman.
Williams aims to outperform rivals, expressing determination to win the Biletnikoff Award over competitors like Travis Hunter.
