Watch: Alabama's Ryan Williams scores another absurd touchdown

By Adam Gretz | Last updated Oct 5, 2024 7:07 PM ET

Alabama wide receiver Ryan Williams is only 17 years old, but he might already be one of the best college football players in the country.

At the very least, he is one of the most exciting.

Williams showed why again on Saturday as he tried to keep the top-ranked Crimson Tide from being upset at Vanderbilt by scoring a 58-yard touchdown late in the third quarter.

It is not enough for Williams to simply score a 58-yard touchdown. He also has to make it a highlight-reel play where he shows off the type of body control, athleticism and speed that only a small handful of players possess.

Have a look.

The catch in traffic alone is incredible. Being able to keep his balance, stay in bounds and complete the play for a touchdown is what makes this play completely ridiculous.

It might not be as impressive as the way he scored a week ago against Georgia, but it is still something special.

It is also becoming a weekly occurrence for Williams. He is not only producing huge numbers; he is making highlights with all of them.
