The native Floridian announced via Twitter his decision to transfer to Utah State.

Williams came to the University of Alabama as a four-star wide receiver in the 2018 signing class.

He possessed much potential, but injuries kept him from blossoming for the Crimson Tide.

Williams played in 11 career games, including six in 2020. The 6-foot-1, 190-pounder caught three passes for 24 receiving yards in 2020.

Williams played on two SEC Championship teams (2018, 2020) and an undefeated College Football Playoff National Championship team in 2020.

A medical issue kept Williams from playing this season.

He learned a lot from Coach Nick Saban, and now he gets to apply it at Utah State.
