5-Star WR Ryan Williams Decommits From Alabama After Nick Saban Retirement
Five-star wide receiver recruit Ryan Williams has decommitted from Alabama in the aftermath of head coach Nick Saban announcing his retirement.
"First off I would like to thank God, my family, and anyone else who has helped me make it to this point… but with careful consideration with my family I will be decommitting from the University of Alabama … respect my decision," Williams said in a statement to Hayes Fawcett of On3.
Williams added that the departures of both Saban and ex-Alabama wide receivers coach/assistant head coach of offense Holmon Wiggins, who left to become Texas A&M's co-offensive coordinator/wide receivers coach, played a major factor in his decommitment.
