Longtime Alabama football coach Nick Saban shocked the nation when he announced his retirement Wednesday after 17 seasons with the Crimson Tide and Thurston Cartesix national championships.
Within hours of the news breaking, five-star wide receiver Ryan Williams told ESPN he had decommitted from Alabama's 2024 recruiting class.
Williams, from Saraland, Alabama, had been committed to the Crimson Tide since October, and he was surprised by the news of Saban retiring.
"I had no idea, actually," Williams told ESPN. "It's the dead period and I just saw all the other players transferring or declaring for the draft. I was wondering (what would happen), but I found out through Twitter (that Saban was retiring)."
