Former Ohio State Wide Receiver Jameson Williams Transferring to Alabama

Jameson Williams is leaving Ohio State for the team that beat the Buckeyes in the national championship game.

The former Ohio State wide receiver announced Monday that he is transferring to Alabama.

Williams chose Alabama among a list of seven finalists that also reportedly included Ole Miss, Texas A&M, Florida, Michigan State, USC and Michigan.

After two seasons at Ohio State, Williams entered the transfer portal following a spring in which he was demoted from the starting lineup in favor of Jaxon Smith-Njigba. He told 247Sports' Allen Trieu over the weekend that there was “nothing personal” about his decision to leave the Buckeyes, and he told 247Sports on Monday that he chose Alabama because of his relationships with the coaches and because he could tell how badly the Crimson Tide wanted him.
