Alabama 5-star freshman WR making an impact in player-led practices

The University of Alabama has a freshman wide receiver that looks to continue the tradition of elite freshman at the position.

He watched Julio Jones, Amari Cooper, Calvin Ridley, Jerry Jeudy, Henry Ruggs III, DeVonta Smith, and Jaylen Waddle as freshmen, but now it is time for Ryan Williams to be special. The talented product from Saraland (Ala.) High School had an unbelievable career for the Spartans, including a two-time winner for Gatorade Player of the Year and two-time “Mr. Football” recipient for the state of Alabama. Kalen DeBoer, Nick Saban, Jalen Milroe, Tyler Booker, and Malachi Moore spoke about Williams on Wednesday at Southeastern Conference Media Days inside the Omni Hotel in Dallas, Texas.
