In his inaugural year as a coach on the field and return to his alma mater, Marcus Davis, the wide receivers coach, achieved a remarkable feat by securing the nation’s top-class wide receivers and the best in the program’s history. While the spotlight is on 5-star recruits Cam Coleman and Perry Thompson, the notable progress of Bryce Cain, ascending from the 1,000s to the 158th rank, and Malcolm Simmons, advancing from a 3-star to the 157th position, adds depth to the achievement.
Recently, Ryan Williams, a highly skilled wide receiver from Saraland, Alabama, and a longstanding commitment to Alabama, made a significant decision to move up from the ’25 class to the ’24 class. During the check-in for the Under Armour Next All-America Game, he revealed his intention to sign in early February after completing several official visits.
Ryan Williams stands out as an exceptional talent, securing the third position among wide receivers and the tenth overall spot in the Top247. Despite initially being a top five prospect in the ’25 class, his reclassification maintains his status as a consensus five-star prospect.
