Both the current and former head coach spoke highly of the 5-star freshman at SEC Media Days.
One of the top high school football players from the state of Alabama in a number of years, freshman Alabama wide receiver Ryan Williams is already turning heads in summer workouts.
“The thing that’s impressed me the most about Ryan is his maturity," DeBoer said. "Maturity and understand what the commitment level is that it takes in this program, at the Division I level. He’s putting in the extra time, and he’s just a playmaker. You can already see that just in the little things he’s been able to do with us in the summer. Excited about him as well as some of the other guys that have been brought in.
“Right away, we got him back for an official visit, after getting to see him during that contact period in January.," DeBoer said. "JaMarcus Shephard’s our receivers coach and both of them obviously have connected on another level. Being a receiver, it’s special and close to my heart too. I may not look like it anymore but that’s what I do. All of us really having a chance there early on to connect, relationship wise those guy have a special connection. He has been instrumental.
