How 5-star Alabama football decommit Ryan Williams reacted to Kalen DeBoer hire

Despite five-star wide receiver Ryan Williams announcing his decommitment from Alabama football on Wednesday, he is showing that Alabama is still on his radar.

Williams has an official visit scheduled to the Capstone on Jan. 20 per 247Sports, and has been liking multiple posts on X, the social media platform formerly known as Twitter, in favor of Alabama's hire of Kalen DeBoer. DeBoer was announced as the 28th head coach at Alabama on Friday. He replaces coach Nick Saban, who retired following 17 seasons at the helm of the Crimson Tide program.

"Kalen DeBoer is a home run hire for Alabama. Winners win ... and that's exactly what DeBoer has done throughout his career," said a post by CBSSports' Barrett Sallee, which Williams later liked.

Here are a few of the tweets Williams has been liking:

Williams has also been active on other aspects of social media, reposting posts on X about him taking an official visit to Texas A&M this weekend.

Williams becomes the highest-ranked recruit in the 2024 class that has yet to commit anywhere. Per 247Sports Composite, Williams is also set to take visits to Alabama (Jan. 20), Texas (Jan. 27) and Auburn (Feb. 3). He will be signing his National Letter of Intent on Feb. 9, two days after his 17th birthday.
