Ryan Williams Gets Caught Undercover as Prank on Alabama Locals Fail Drastically

In today’s episode of the College Football saga, let’s discuss the Alabama Crimson Tide football team. In essence, this team embodies the spirit of the student who excels in school and athletics yet manages to maintain their composure. They’ve dominated college football and the SEC for decades, piling up national championships like they’re filling their Pokémon card binder. Enter Ryan Williams, the budding wide receiver making waves on the gridiron. In many ways, Williams is a perfect fit for the Tide, carrying forward the legacies of players like Derrick Henry—generational talents who chose Tuscaloosa as their college home.

Before the Tide hit a low point in the 2024 season, Ryan Williams was getting talked about along with Jeremiah Smith as two freshman superstars. The latter went on to win the national championship. For Williams, the season faltered—the same goes for his team and quarterback, Jalen Milroe. Despite that, the raw numbers are here. Watching him catch the play and just run with it was like observing a teenage superhero in cleats. With 48 receptions, 865 receiving yards, and 8 touchdown receptions, he made defenses human speed bumps, averaging a nice 18 yards per reception — because who needs short yardage when you can do it in a big way? Remember the Georgia game? Late in the 4th quarter, the Bulldogs had just taken the lead. Milroe found Ryan Williams with a long pass. An acrobatic reception, defender in his sight, but no worries! A missed tackle, a missed tackle there, and a touchdown.

This time around, Williams chose to lay off annihilating defenses and attempt his skills at undercover journalism because why not? “Ryan Williams goes undercover to interview fans.” Yes! That’s what the “newwave_show” uploaded on their YouTube channel and Instagram.

Oh, wait, that’s not where it ends. Spoiler warning: the mustache had other ideas. Halfway through the interview, it made a break for freedom, peeling straight off his face like a poor Halloween disguise. Fans progressed from bewildered to laughing in stitches quicker than Ryan completes routes. “Terrible undercover job 😂😂😂,” “Nah we could’ve got you a better disguise 😂.” The comment section went wild. The prank didn’t work better than a dropped pass, but at least we had a good laugh and evidence that even stars can’t land it every time!

Ryan Williams’ undercover mustache prank had everyone laughing. Coach Kalen DeBoer let loose with an announcement that Ryan would be largely held out for spring ball, tending to a few “nicks and things like that.” Alabama’s taking no risks with their star receiver—he’s all dressed up and ready to go, but the coaching staff is playing it cautious, ensuring the only thing that comes off this spring is a fake mustache, not another hamstring.

From fake moustaches to real injuries

So here’s the lowdown from Tuscaloosa: Coach Kalen DeBoer’s injury update on Ryan Williams has Alabama fans gripping their crimson jerseys tightly and perhaps stress-eating a few extra barbecue ribs. After all, spring ball is meant to be about building up the next generation of Tide legends, not a game of “Where’s Waldo?” with your go-to wideout.

During Alabama’s spring scrimmage, Ryan Williams was unexpectedly absent due to minor injuries. Williams made a significant impact as a freshman, amassing 865 yards and 8 touchdowns against Georgia. Coach DeBoer explained the situation, expressing some positive news of Williams’ ability to perform.

Ryan Williams may have bombed Bama with his undercover mustache gag. But he’s Alabama’s up-and-comer, even if spring ball has him on the sidelines patching up some “nicks and things.” Coach DeBoer is playing it safe, keeping in mind that Ryan will be ready to illuminate the SEC next fall.
