Alabama Lands Commitment from 3-Star WR Brian Williams, Jr.

The Crimson Tide continues to roll on the recruiting trail as Kalen DeBoer and the Alabama staff's hot streak continued, locking in another commitment from a talented 2026 prospect.

Brian Williams, Jr., a 6-foot-4, 185 lb. wideout prospect from Orlando, Florida, took to social media on Tuesday to announce his decision. He chose the Crimson Tide over the likes of Florida, Penn State, Notre Dame and many more.

Williams is an extremely dynamic wideout prospect, not just because of his incredible length, but because of the athleticism he pairs with it. He is able to cleanly get in and out of breaks and can operate from the outside or the slot.

He is a multi-sport athlete, suiting up for his high school's track team as well. As a junior in 2024, he posted an impressive 11.29 second time in the 100 meter dash and a 23.08 in the 200 meter. On the gridiron, he hauled in 23 catches for 359 yards and five touchdowns.

Williams is the Tide's second wide receiver commitment of the 2026 class, joining fellow 3-Star Owen Cabell who committed earlier this week. As of now, Alabama holds 16 total commitments, seven of which are from players on the offensive side of the ball.

While it may have gotten off to a slower start than some anticipated, Alabama has been absolutely dominant on the recruiting trail throughout the month of June and now into July.
