The dominoes are beginning to fall in the wake of Alabama Crimson Tide coach Nick Saban’s retirement, with the program set to lose a key recruit in the Class of 2024.
Five-star receiver Ryan Williams announced his decision on Wednesday to de-commit from Alabama due to Saban and receivers coach Holman Wiggins’s decisions to walk away, according to multiple reports. Williams, who committed to the Tide on Oct. 8, 2022, shared a statement confirming he intends to re-evaluate his college plans and commit to a new school by his 17th birthday on Feb. 9.
“It’s about the departure of coach Saban and the receivers coach [Holmon Wiggins],” Williams told AL.com. “Of course, it’s a hard decision. I don’t really want to do it, but I have to explore my options and see what happens before Feb. 9.”
