5-star WR Ryan Williams recommits to Alabama

Five-star wide receiver Ryan Williams has recommitted to Alabama after decommitting earlier in January due to Nick Saban's retirement.

"Alabama is, and always has been, where my heart was since I first began being recruited by them," Williams said, according to Hayes Fawcett of On3. "I love the Tide and the Tide loves me."

"With the addition of (head coach Kalen DeBoer's) offense and the relationship I built with him and the rest of the staff (in) such a short amount of time, I am 1000% confident and committed."

Williams chose the Crimson Tide over Auburn, LSU, and Texas A&M.

The Alabama native is the No. 9-ranked prospect in the 2024 class, according to ESPN 300, and the No. 3-ranked wide receiver. He had 72 catches with 1,585 total yards and 26 touchdowns last season at Saraland High School.
