Alabama wide receiver Ryan Williams, the co-cover athlete of EA Sports College Football 26, recently attended an event for the renowned video game.

The 18-year-old, who is rated as the second-best player in the video game, spoke with YouTuber RBT and answered some rapid-fire questions.

The first question was "Who is your dream cornerback to score on?" and Williams' answer was Pro Football Hall of Fame cornerback and current Colorado head coach Deion Sanders. Here are Williams' answers to some of the other questions.

  • Favorite route to run: go ball
  • National Championship but Auburn loss OR Iron Bowl win but no National Championship: Iron Bowl win but no National Championship
  • Do you plan on getting any more tattoos? Yes
  • Can you top the game-winning Georgia touchdown this season? Yes
  • Alabama teammate that is the best gamer: cornerback Domani Jackson
  • What should your rating be in College Football 26: 104 (it's out of 99)
  • Rhoads Stadium has been hosting former Alabama softball pitcher Montana Fouts and the AUSL's Talons throughout this week for two games (Tuesday and Wednesday) against the Volts and then three games (Saturday through next Monday) against the Bandits. Fans have been packing the stands and many gave Fouts, a Crimson Tide legend, heartwarming messages.
  • Miami Dolphins wide receiver Tyreek Hill openly spoke about wanting to leave the team at the end of last season. However, he's still there and former Alabama and current Dolphins quarterback Tua Tagovailoa explained that their relationship ahead of next season is "still a work in progress," but commended Hill for working on himself this offseason.
  • Former Alabama standout safety Minkah Fitzpatrick was traded from the Pittsburgh Steelers to the Miami Dolphins on June 30, and although it has been less than a month, the 5-time Pro Bowler is already leading the defensive back breakdowns.
  • Alabama swimming and diving head coach Margo Geer was named to the Arizona Sports Hall of Fame after being named a national champion three times from 2010-14. It's been quite the month for Geer, as on July 7, she earned a new three-year contract worth $180,000 annually—a $20,000 raise on a per-year basis.
  • Alabama gymnastics associate head coach Justin Spring shares one of his favorite moments inside Coleman Coliseum.
