Ryan Williams is a superstar in college football right now. The 17-year-old freshman, yes, 17-year-old freshman, has starred in the early goings for the Alabama Crimson Tide.
On Saturday night, Alabama hosted the Georgia Bulldogs. Through 2.5 quarters, the Crimson Tide trounced the Bulldogs. Everything was going Alabama’s way, and the ball was bouncing for Williams too.
Literally.
Late in the third quarter, Crimson Tide quarterback Jalen Milroe launched a pass downfield. Williams targeted the ball with a Dawgs defender on him. The ball went up after getting tipped, and Williams still tracked the ball and came down with the pass.

Just your standard 54-yard pass from Jalen Milroe to Ryan Williams. I know Dawg fans won't like this, but "My God, a freshman!"

Ryan Williams' body control and ability to track the ball is unreal.

Alabama is well on their way to a huge victory over Georgia. They can thank their star freshman for that win after this fantastic play.
