Eric Collier of Thedore High School has coached for more than 25 years. So, it speaks volumes when he says that Ryan Williams is the unlike any other player he's coached against. "He's the most dynamic kid I've ever seen," Collier told AL.com. Williams became the first sophomore ever to be named Mr. Football by the Alabama Sports Writers Association after he recorded 42 touchdowns in the 2022 season. He also helped Saraland High School to a 14-1 record and the school's first state championship. "He has the potential to be the best wide receiver ever to come out of Mobile," Collier continued. "I coached against Julio (Jones), and he was big and strong, but this kid is so dynamic. Honestly, the sky is the limit." Williams was also only the second underclassmen ever to be named Mr. Football. "He is great off the line of scrimmage," Saraland coach Jeff Kelly said. "People don’t have an easy time pressing him. He is able to separate on balls down the field. He makes the contested catch. I think what really sets him apart is the competitive nature that he rolls in with every day."
