Ryan Williams, a freshman wide receiver, has been named a starter for the Crimson Tide in their upcoming game against Wisconsin at Camp Randall Stadium in Madison, Wis. Previously the No. 2 receiver at the X position behind Kendrick Law in games against Western Kentucky and South Florida, Williams has impressed coaches enough to earn the starting spot.
Williams will start in the slot (H) position, replacing Kobe Prentice, with Caleb Odom serving as his backup.
Standing 6 feet tall and weighing 175 pounds, Williams leads the Tide with six receptions, 207 yards, and three touchdowns after two games, all of which have been scored on plays of over 20 yards.
The game against the Badgers is scheduled for 11 a.m. CT and will be broadcast on FOX.
