Ryan Williams usually wears gloves during Alabama football games. But when he takes them off, you can see his painted nails. Such was the case Friday after practice, when Williams spoke to reporters. The green was easy to notice. Each of his nails were painted in a bright green.

All Ryan Williams wanted to do was to check his options. The Alabama football star freshman wide receiver initially ended his commitment to the Crimson Tide hours after coach Nick Saban announced his retirement from the program and days after wide receivers coach Holmon Wiggins left for Texas A&M.

Here's why the former Alabama coach encouraged Ryan Williams to start a podcast during his time with Alabama football.

For Alabama football freshman receiver Ryan Williams, it was the latter. The first day the Crimson Tide wore pads in practice, the Saraland product went across the middle on a shallow crossing route. He tried to juke. Emphasize on tried. Linebacker Justin Jefferson made Williams pay for it.

Two of the Crimson Tide's star freshmen teamed up to create the "New Wave Podcast" with over 100,000 views on YouTube three episodes in.

Williams, a 6-foot, 175-pound freshman wide receiver, leads Alabama with 10 catches for 285 receiving yards. He has secured four of quarterback Jalen Milroe's eight touchdown passes, and is the only wide receiver to have multiple scores.

Williams, who has 10 catches for 285 yards and four touchdowns, is captivating the college football world with his game-breaking plays that showcase his blazing speed, while Mbakwe has flashed as a punter returns and as a future lockdown corner.
