Alabama fans rejoiced like crazy on Wednesday after receiving amazing news.
Ryan Williams, a five-star wide receiver from Saraland (Ala.) High School, recommitted to the University of Alabama football program under head coach Kalen DeBoer. He originally committed under Nick Saban, but Williams backed off after Saban announced his retirement. He came to Alabama on an official visit last weekend, and DeBoer was able to get him back.

The talented in-state player reclassified to the 2024 recruiting class. Williams is arguably the best player to come from the state of Alabama since Julio Jones in 2008. Crimson Tide fans are overjoyed to have him, and they reacted to the news on social media.
