Two key players in Alabama-A&M game are true freshmen from Houston

Less than 10 miles separate Channelview High School and C.E. King High School.

Watch the Alabama-Texas A&M game on Saturday and you'll see a dynamic true freshman from each of those two Houston-area high schools.

The one from Channelview is Alabama's talented young quarterback, Jalen Hurts. The other? Texas A&M running back Trayveon Williams.

These are two of the top young players in the country, and these two true freshmen from the Houston area will be two of the important figures in Saturday's matchup between the No. 1 Tide and No. 6 Aggies.

People around Alabama know about Hurts at this point, so let's focus on Williams.
