Jalen Milroe lit up the scenes at Bryant-Denny Stadium last year against Georgia and produced 374 passing and 117 rushing yards. His performance was undoubtedly breathtaking as the Crimson Tide won 41-34 against Kirby Smart’s Georgia. While Milroe had been the highlight of the game, earning a QB rating of 98.6 (ESPN), a freshman wide receiver quietly tiptoed in that game and averaged 29.5 yards per reception, totaling 177 yards. Ryan Williams from then on ascended the Bama WR room throne and notched up breathtaking performances throughout the season, stacking fan after fan. But this newfound fandom has shown its dark side now.
In total, the wide receiver received 865 yards, averaging 18 yards per reception, and became probably the most hyped wide receiver due to his freshman talent after Jeremiah Smith. While on one hand, Kalen DeBoer’s season had fair share of scrutiny, Ryan Williams’ performances were a breath of fresh air. His fandom has now reached its peak, and he has garnered 735,000 followers on Instagram. However, this newfound fandom has now forced the WR to apologize.
Williams was recently the victim of an internet scam, where a scammer made a fake account in his name and defrauded his IG followers. The fake account already had more than 15,000 followers and strangely resembled Ryan’s original IG account. The wide receiver quickly took note of this and posted a warning on his IG story to report the account and apologized to the fans who would have been scammed. “Report this account, it is not me. I apologize if you’ve been scammed,” wrote Ryan Williams.
