Alabama fans are proud to have Jameson Williams, but he is happy about being in Tuscaloosa.
He had success at Ohio State as a wide receiver, including a moment in the College Football Playoff semifinal versus Clemson where he caught a touchdown pass from Justin Fields. Williams helped the Buckeyes secure a 49-28 victory and advance to the CFP National Championship Game to face Alabama.
Buckeye fans felt the program had huge depth at receiver, and it was best to let Williams go.
The team placed more focus on Chris Olave, Garrett Wilson, and others in the position.
Williams has produced a season for the Crimson Tide where he has more yards (1,028), a higher yards per catch average (20.2), and higher yards per matchup average (102.8) than Olave and Wilson. Williams is one of 10 semifinalists for the Biletnikoff Award.

Williams recently went live on Instagram with the clip of himself pledging his allegiance to Alabama being posted by one Crimson Tide fan which began making the rounds on Twitter.

“Ohio State fans be tripping,” Williams said. “They don’t claim me. I don’t claim them. Ohio State fans be tripping. They disowned me. I went to ‘Bama. When I graduate, I will have graduated from ‘Bama.”
At Alabama, Williams has five 100-yard games — including three versus SEC schools. Ten of his 51 receptions have resulted in touchdowns, and he is rising in the school’s record book for single-season performances. Williams is tied for fifth all-time for touchdowns at Alabama for a season and is ninth for receiving yards. He has found a place and a fan base to call home.
