Alabama football’s wide receiver room had to learn a new offensive scheme last season in Kalen DeBoer’s inaugural campaign in Tuscaloosa and playing EA Sports College Football 25 was a helpful tool in them doing so, according to Ryan Williams.
Williams made this known Wednesday when he joined the ESPN College GameDay podcast with Rece Davis and reflected back on how playing the popular video game was helpful.
“It was super helpful,” Williams said. “I mean, you kinda underestimate how similar the playbooks are on the game to our actual playbook. Like I mean, it’s not word for word, bar for bar and there’s always different language, all type of stuff like that.
