College football fans everywhere around the country were put on notice on Saturday night about the next great Alabama pass catcher in Ryan Williams.
Williams is just 17-years-old and should still technically be in high school, but the average eye may not guess this after watching Williams’ two-touchdown, 139-yard performance in his collegiate debut against Western Kentucky on Saturday.
The Alabama native said he went into the game not thinking about his age.
“When I was younger, I always played up so it was never a matter of age,” Williams said. “I try not to use age as an excuse because if I would’ve gotten man-handled out there I still wouldn’t want it to be an excuse, so I don’t focus on that, I just focus on playing because at the end of the day it’s football.
