Roydell Williams propels Alabama’s run game in win over Southern Mississippi

At Alabama, Nick Saban recruits studs at four different positions.

Brian Robinson (ribs) dressed out for the matchup against Southern Mississippi, but the Crimson Tide did not play him.

It turned out to be a good decision, especially with the performance of Roydell Williams. Alabama will have Robinson versus Ole Miss, and Williams showed fans why he was a prized recruit in 2020. An alum of Hueytown (Ala.) High School, Williams took advantage of the moment at Bryant-Denny Stadium. His skill set between the tackles and in space is reminiscent of Alabama’s 2009 Heisman Trophy winner, Mark Ingram.
