A High School Legend
Before donning the crimson jersey of Alabama, Williams was already a household name in Mobile, Alabama. As a sophomore, he led Saraland High to a state championship, earning himself the coveted Mr. Football title – the first sophomore to ever win the award. His impressive stats – 1,641 receiving yards, 24 touchdowns, and 700 rushing yards with 15 scores – left coaches and opponents alike in awe.
A Family Affair
Williams’ love for football was nurtured by his family, particularly his father, Ryan Williams Sr., who played college ball at Auburn and Louisiana Tech. The elder Williams instilled in his son a strong work ethic, teaching him drills and routes in their backyard. Williams’ mother, Tiffany Coleman, credits her son’s grandparents, Robert and Catherine Williams, for helping shape his maturity and foundation.
From Youth League to College Stardom
Williams’ journey to greatness began in the Saraland Youth Football League, where he earned the nickname “Hollywood” for his electrifying plays. He transitioned seamlessly to high school, playing quarterback before switching to receiver, where he truly found his calling. His coaches and teammates marveled at his natural talent, work ethic, and infectious enthusiasm.
The Decision to Reclassify
In mid-July 2023, Williams made the bold decision to reclassify to the Class of 2024, forgoing his senior year of high school to join the Crimson Tide. He kept the news private, not wanting to distract from his team’s chances of winning another state title.
College Debut
Williams’ meteoric rise continued at Alabama, where he leads the team with 23 catches for 576 yards and six touchdowns. His 25-yard average on receptions tops the FBS. Coaches and opponents alike are singing his praises, with many calling him the most explosive player they’ve ever seen.
