"Williams told AL.com on Tuesday that he's "Alabama through and through," adding that he has "no intentions of being anywhere else." After earning first-team All-SEC honors and freshman All-America honors in 2024, when he surged onto the scene as a 17-year-old for Alabama, Williams has had fewer catches, yards and half as many touchdowns (4) this season. The sophomore also has been prone to dropped passes. According to Tru Media, Williams is second nationally in highest percentage of drops (14.3) with 10 on the season."
""I had a lot of ups, people considered last year, and just learning how to deal with those, and I've had a lot of downs, people considered this year, and I've learned how to deal with those," Williams told ESPN at media day for the College Football Playoff Quarterfinal at the Rose Bowl Presented by Prudential. "Really just an opportunity to stay human and have empathy for others, because I've been through some things. It's been a blessing to go through all the ups, all the downs, all the arounds.""
