Ryan Williams is hitting milestones in his football career, and much of the credit goes to his athletic father, Ryan Williams Sr. Ryan’s father, who comes from a sports background, instilled a sportsmanship in him from an early age. Ryan Williams, a five-star prospect who committed to the University of Alabama in October 2022, has decommitted from the school.
According to Rivals, the Saraland wide receiver was just reclassified from the 2025 recruiting class to 2024 and is ranked No. 19 overall and No. 4 among wide receivers. During his three years in high school, he ran for 1,078 yards, 3,254 receiving yards and 47 touchdowns. His notable accomplishments include being named Mr. Football twice and the Gatorade Alabama Player of the Year. Ryan originally planned to join the Crimson Tide on February 9, 2024. However, as word of Nick Saban’s retirement spread, the manager changed his mind.
Who is Ryan Williams Sr. Ryan Williams’ father?
Ryan Williams’ father, Ryan Williams Sr., shares his son’s interest in sports, especially football. Born in Mobile, Alabama, he began his football career as a cornerback at BC Rain High. In the late 2000s, he signed a letter of intent to play defensive back for Auburn University. Furthermore, it seems that his enthusiasm for football did not translate into a professional career. While there is little news about his father’s personal and professional life, he certainly deserves credit for Ryan’s success.
Growing up, the father-son team practiced and trained in their garden. Recognizing today’s achievement, his father reportedly stated, “Honestly, all the hard work is paying off now. As a football fan, to see a young man working hard and getting what he deserves is a triumph.
Are the Crimson Tide losing prospects?
Nick Saban, Alabama’s head football coach from 2007 to 2023, has announced his retirement, and Alabama could be losing future prospects. The Crimson Tide will see an attrition of players on the current roster and in future signing classes. As noted earlier, Sanderson WR Ryan Williams was the first to leave his contract, even though he did not sign with them. In an interview with ESPN, Williams noted,
“I had no idea that Saban was retiring and I found out about the news via Twitter.”
Afterward, he called Alabama’s coaches to confirm the news, and about an hour later decided to decommit. Williams is considering Alabama’s arch-rival Auburn Tigers for his future commitments. As a result, rehiring him could be the first priority for the Crimson’s next head coach.
