Ryan Williams signs new NIL deal

Alabama’s freshman superstar wide receiver, Ryan Williams, has already written his name into Crimson Flame at the University of Alabama, despite being a true freshman and only appearing in eight games for Alabama thus far.

Through eight games, Williams has hauled in 35 catches for 702 yards and seven touchdowns for Alabama. He is the leading receiver for the Crimson Tide and is the target for quarterback Jalen Milroe.

Williams has already made a name for himself in Alabama, and it’s starting to pay off in the world of name, image and likeness.

Williams held a meet-and-greet with quarterback Jalen Milroe after Alabama’s win over Wisconsin, spending two hours signing autographs and meeting fans at a local T-Mobile store in Tuscaloosa.

This was during Alabama’s bye week prior to the Georgia game.

Alabama has another bye week, allowing Williams and the Crimson Tide players to pursue more NIL opportunities. Williams took advantage of this and signed a NIL deal with Uber Eats on Monday.

Williams’ NIL valuation is now almost $2 million. It currently stands at $1.7 million.

If Williams continues his current trajectory, he will be a top pick in the first round of the 2027 NFL draft and will be a huge contributor for any quarterback suiting up for Alabama.

Alabama has a bye week on November 2 and then returns to action for a road trip to Baton Rouge against the LSU Tigers in a do-or-die football game at 6:30 PM CT on November 9. The game will be broadcast on ABC, or listen to the radio broadcast on Tide 100.9 and the free Tide 100.9 app.
