TUSCALOOSA, Ala. — Ryan Williams gathered the Alabama receivers Friday night for a bit of video-game playing.
He battled teammates in EA Sports College Football 25, a way to relax a day before kickoff of college football’s biggest game of the season so far: No. 2 Georgia at No. 4 Alabama.
As is often the case, Williams, the Tide’s star 17-year-old receiver, played the video game with his own team. While engrossed in a tight battle with a teammate, Williams furiously moved the pieces on the virtual field using his controller until one of his defensive backs, fellow freshman Zabien Brown, snatched a ball out of the air for a game-sealing interception.
