New Alabama football co-offensive coordinator/wide receivers coach JaMarcus Shephard didn’t hold back his praise for his new freshman receiver, Ryan Williams.
Shephard, who joined Tide100.9 on Tuesday, called Williams “an elite human being.”
“He is somebody, immediately we gravitated toward each other,” Shephard said. “We kind of felt each other’s energy. Knew that we could work well together. He’s a sponge. He’s dialed in, focused and wants more. He wants to be coached at a high level. He’s not a prima donna that’s going to be frustrated because I’m having tough coaching for the guy. He can take tough coaching. It’s super rare for a kid who’s really 16, just turned 17 years old. He’s super young, and most people don’t really recognize how young the kid is.”
