“He’s in the same line with the guys they’ve had in the past,” Georgia head coach Kirby Smart said. “Super quick, talented, confident with the ball, great ball skills, great quickness. He’s a track athlete that was elite as a junior, and then he comes out and he’s already performing at a high level.”

Georgia football coach Kirby Smart already knew who Ryan Williams was before the Bulldogs started preparing for Alabama. On the SEC Coaches Teleconference during Georgia's off week, Smart called Williams "extremely talented" and a "delightful personality" and someone the Bulldogs targeted on the recruiting trail.

Ryan Williams usually wears gloves during Alabama football games. But when he takes them off, you can see his painted nails. Such was the case Friday after practice, when Williams spoke to reporters. The green was easy to notice. Each of his nails were painted in a bright green.

Williams, a 6-foot, 175-pound freshman wide receiver, leads Alabama with 10 catches for 285 receiving yards. He has secured four of quarterback Jalen Milroe's eight touchdown passes, and is the only wide receiver to have multiple scores.

Two of the Crimson Tide's star freshmen teamed up to create the "New Wave Podcast" with over 100,000 views on YouTube three episodes in.

Here's why the former Alabama coach encouraged Ryan Williams to start a podcast during his time with Alabama football.

The Alabama football star freshman wide receiver initially ended his commitment to the Crimson Tide hours after coach Nick Saban announced his retirement from the program and days after wide receivers coach Holmon Wiggins left for Texas A&M. But Williams said it didn't take long for DeBoer and the new Alabama coaching staff to make an impact.

The college football world was introduced to Alabama wide receiver Ryan Williams when the 17-year-old freshman caught a pair of touchdown passes in the Crimson Tide's 63-0 week one victory. Williams splashed on the national scene last week when he opened Alabama's scoring last week against Wisconsin before the Crimson Tide cruised to a 42-10 win.
