Until now, college football lured in big shots from other sports, such as NBA star LeBron “King” James. But here is another sports star that has been added to the list. Time for the Tennis world to root for Alabama Crimson Tide. And it was none other than the GOAT tennis queen, Serena Williams, who has got her name marked in the list as a follower of College Football. 

The 23-time grand slam champion, who has retired now, tweeted to claim that she and the Tide freshman belong to the same bloodline. But are fans convinced? Looks like Serena’s fans and Ryan’s fan have done their homework to not fall for this banter. 

Serena Williams spins a tale ft. Alabama freshman Ryan Williams

Yes Alabama vs Georgia match-up on last Saturday, September 28 has been big enough to get even someone busy like Serena and LeBron to tune into the game. With Tide’s gigantic win came Ryan becoming the absolute heartthrob in the CFB world. That’s just when the tennis star cooked up a sly plan to turn her fans’ heads hinting at what fans called ‘Black Royalty’. She came up with a unique way to hype the freshman WR Ryan and wrote, “Honestly this is pretty impressive from my 17year old cousin ha go Cuz!”

Bet Ryan is celebrating his touchdown even two days after the game after getting Serena Williams to not only share his performance but reel in a desired connection. Even before the Georgia showdown, Ryan had been the two-time “Mr. Football.” But on September 28, he became the talk of the town with his spectacular catch that came with a 54-yard play. On that very match, he led all receivers with five catches for 102 yards in Quarter 3. Impressed with the young man, the mother of two and now married to Alexis Ohanian, Serena made use of the same-surname privilege to try to trick the fans. 

But that’s a sheer joke. It just showed the 23x Grand Slam champion’s love for the sport who even owns a stake in the NFL program Miami Dolphins alongside her tennis star sibling, Venus Williams. Nice try, indeed, but fans could see through the joke!

Serena Williams’ sneaky play with Ryan Williams’ name made fans cast doubt

Not just Serena, a fan too tried his hands in dishing out another angled of their same ethnicity! Williams reigning in tennis and another Williams reigning in college football has been no less than a magical spectacle. He thus commented that casting magical spells should not be allowed,  “Everything makes sense now smh we going against black magic.”

Another fan too teased how they both belong to the same royal lineage, “Of course, he’s related to black royalty.” However, to another fan, it was nothing but blatant use of witchcraft, and even tagged one who practices it, “what kind of sorcery is this???? @DragonflyJonez” A few days back an insider claimed that Ryan could play in the NFL right now. Using this, a fan came up with a funny jab how Ryan’s talents has nothing to do with himself but the Black Royalty, “That explains the skill level, sheesh.”

This was too hard to digest as a fan went straightaway with claiming, “Of course…it is scripted.” After all, the 17-year-old does not need the ‘Black Royalty’ tag or Serena Williams’ kind words to bolster his position. Along with the sports, he is doing quite well in the NIL too. His performance has been so impressive that Tide tight end CJ Dippre wants to give away all his riches to Ryan Williams.
