In a major recruiting shock, 17-year-old 5-star wide receiver Ryan Williams has officially flipped his commitment to the Miami Hurricanes. Williams, originally committed to Alabama, made the announcement on Thursday, sending waves through the college football world.
Williams, a standout in the 2025 recruiting class, had long been a centerpiece of Alabama’s future plans. However, after revisiting his options, the elite wideout decided that the University of Miami offers the best path forward for his football career.
“After careful consideration and discussions with my family, I’ve decided to flip my commitment to the University of Miami,” Williams said in a statement. “I believe in what Coach Cristobal and his staff are building, and I’m excited to be a part of it.”
The decision is a massive win for the Hurricanes and head coach Mario Cristobal, who have been aggressively pursuing top talent to revive the program. Williams brings game-breaking speed, elite hands, and the ability to stretch defenses, making him a future star for Miami.
Alabama, on the other hand, will feel the sting of losing such a prized recruit. Williams had been seen as a future focal point of the Crimson Tide’s high-powered offense, but now his talents will be heading to South Beach.
With Williams’ flip, Miami continues to strengthen its recruiting class, landing one of the top offensive playmakers in the country and adding fuel to the growing excitement around the Hurricanes’ resurgence.
