Till now, Alabama Crimson Tide’s QB Jalen Milroe had basked in the limelight for having the top NIL valuation in the Tuscaloosa hood with $1.3 million. But the time has come for the QB to worry about his standings. And not from any of his teammates who are bigshots but from his 17-year-old fellow Tide mate, Ryan Williams.

In case you think that Williams cracked some big NIL deal, then you are mistaken. It is the Alabama TE who has been so impressed with the prodigy’s talents that he now wants to empty his fortune in Williams’ honor who already boasts a worth of $732K. Well, his fan list is pretty long; it seems the list goes on from NBA legends to top sports commentators and beyond.

Alabama TE smitten by Ryan William’s talent

When Williams committed to Crimson Tide as a high school sophomore, DeBoer did not expect much from the athlete. But it did not take them much time to change their views about him. Now, even Alabama insiders are seeing him play in the NFL. Against Wisconsin, he had an incredible game with four touchdowns coming from 84, 55, 43, and 31 yards out. In fact, his latest achievement left his teammate, tight end CJ Dippre, in awe. “It’s like a simulation watching him play. He is great,” commented the player. 

Not just good words, he is also ready to give away all his fortunes to Williams, “He can take, if he had problems, he could take my NIL money. I’ll give it to him. He can have all mine.” But will the WR need Dippre’s riches? Definitely not. Even as a newcomer, his skill set has been impressive enough to shoot his NIL valuation to $601,000. And Dippre’s just another member of the Ryan Williams fan club! 

Tide’s prophetic pursuit of Ryan Williams pays off

Now we got to know how Alabama staffer and Crimson Tide’s GM, Courtney Morgan was so right when he ran after Williams as soon as his his plane landed. Maybe he got a prophecy that he is going to be the one name that Tide will be known for one day. And yes, he had been absolutely right. Today Williams is the one the whole CFB world is crushing over. On Saturday’s match-up against the Georgia Bulldogs, the 17-year-old’s name got etched with what became the game-winning touchdown.

With only 2 minutes 30 seconds left on the clock, the freshman WR hauled in a deep heave on the sideline. He whipped up some great strategy where he hit the ground running before coming to a sudden halt which led two Dawgs defenders to stumble into one another. But the game-stealer came with securing the 54-yard play from QB Jalen Milroe, his fifth catch and the longest of the night.

This was enough for NBA legend LeBron James to pitch in with Ryan Williams’ praise as he tweeted, “THIS GAME IS A INSTANT CLASSIC!!!” Then dropped in American sports commentator Skip Bayless who was in total awe of the catch and wrote, “Ryan Williams is featuring Ant Man’s motto.” Here Bayless compared the player’s fiery energy with that of NBA star and Minnesota Timberwolves guard Anthony Edwards. That’s what you call an upgrade!
