Former Alabama CB Ronald Williams transferring to Michigan State

Thin at cornerback, Michigan State coach Mel Tucker continued to hit the transfer portal on Tuesday in an effort to beef up the position.

Former Alabama cornerback Ronald Williams, who was one of the top junior college signings in the 2020 class, announced on Twitter that he has committed to Michigan State.

Ronald Williams Jr. played in three games at Alabama last season.

Williams is the fourth cornerback to commit to the Spartans, joining Marqui Lowery (Louisville), Khary Crump (Arizona) and Chester Kimbrough (Florida). Walk-on Spencer Rowland (Division III Wheaton) joined the team in January and went through spring practice.

The Spartans returned only two corners with significant experience — junior Kalon Gervin and freshman Angelo Grose.
