Alabama's Ryan Williams will have a versatile role

Alabama wide receiver Ryan Williams is set for a different role in the Crimson Tide's offense for the 2025 season. Head coach Kalen DeBoer announced that Williams will be moving around in the formation. This decision comes after a strong rookie season in which Williams recorded 48 catches, gained 865 yards, and scored ten touchdowns. As Williams enters his second year, Alabama is looking to take advantage of his skills and the return of Jalen Hale from injury. The team also added Isaiah Horton, a transfer from Miami, which will create more options for where Williams can play. DeBoer highlighted the flexibility of the offense, saying it helps keep opponents guessing. DeBoer believes that with Williams, Germie Bernard, and Horton on the roster, they can utilize all their strengths in different ways. This strategy aims to make Alabama's offense more unpredictable from week to week. Williams is eager to continue showcasing his talent on the field in this dynamic setup.
