Alabama has somehow found itself on the ropes in Tuscaloosa despite being up 28-0 nothing at one point. Georgia had just completed an incredible comeback and taken a 34-33 lead thanks to some brilliance from Carson Beck. A huge drive was upcoming for Jalen Milroe and the Crimson Tide offense, cashing in on one play.

Milroe found the youngest player on the field, Ryan Williams, in a one-on-one ball down the sideline. Williams not only made the catch after adjusting his body in the air but turned around the Georgia defender. Once regrouping, a spin move had two Bulldogs crashing into each other.

From there, it was a straight foot race and one Williams one. He even had time to take his mouthguard out before celebrating in front of the fans at Bryant-Denny Stadium. An incredible play for any wide receiver, let alone one who’s 17 years old and should still be in high school.
