Eddie Williams was part of Nick Saban’s big 2012 class. He was a very desired safety from my hometown of Panama City Beach. He was the first and only player from Arnold High School to be signed by Alabama and he was destined for stardom.
Had he kept his nose to the grindstone, followed the process and lived up to expectations, he would have left Alabama last season with an NFL contract and be playing on Sundays now.
Instead on a dark night in February 2013 he and two other players chose to mug two students and Eddie’s life at Alabama was over and his freedom was now in jeopardy.
