This announcement comes shortly after Williams’ electric junior season wrapped up.
Williams’ final game of the year was a 28-31 loss to Clay-Chalkville HS in the state championship game. Saraland was not able to win back-to-back titles, but Williams was sensational playing in Bryant-Denny Stadium. He recorded 11 catches for 232 yards, two receiving touchdowns, had a rushing touchdown, and a kick return for a TD as well.
All in all, Ryan Williams finished his 2023 season with over 2,000 all-purpose yards and 30 touchdowns. In the past two seasons alone, Williams has recorded over 4,700 all-purpose yards and 72 total touchdowns playing in 6A football in the state of Alabama.
Across every major recruiting media rankings service, Williams is ranked no lower than a top-four overall recruit in his class. He’s recognized by all four services as the top-ranked wide receiver in the 2025 class and the No. 1 junior in the state of Alabama.
Williams leads the way in what is the No. 1 overall recruiting class in the 2025 cycle. Bama’s Class of 2025 group features nine prospects, with half of them being in the top-100 overall. Those are Williams, fellow five-star wideout Jaime Ffrench, EDGE commits Javion Hilson and Zion Grady, and IMG Academy running back Anthony Rogers.

Ryan Williams is one of the most productive football players in Alabama high school history, and also has one of the top NIL Valuations in the country. With over 160,000 followers across Instagram, TikTok, and Twitter, Williams has an On3 NIL Valuation of $277,000. That places him No. 32 overall amongst high school prospects.
The On3 NIL Valuation is the industry’s leading index that sets the standard market NIL value for high school and college athletes. A proprietary algorithm, the On3 NIL Valuation calculates an athlete’s NIL value using dynamic data points targeting three primary categories: performance, influence and exposure.
About On3 NIL Valuation, Brand Value, Roster Value
While the algorithm includes deal data, it does not act as a tracker of the value of NIL deals athletes have completed to date, nor does it set an athlete’s NIL valuation for their entire career.
