  When Williams committed to Alabama Monday morning, the Missouri native and former top-100 recruit was just five days removed from entering the NCAA transfer portal at Ohio State. Tide wide receivers coach Holmon Wiggins, a former college teammate of Gregory at New Mexico, made contact after Williams went into the portal and helped the Crimson Tide beat out Georgia, Texas A&M and others to land the commitment. "It was one of them things: If I go in the portal, I want to entertain A, B, C and Alabama was one of the A, B, Cs," Gregory said. "... He's going to play for somebody that his high school coach knows. Dad originally wanted him to go to 'Bama. And then, on top of Ohio State being No. 1, Alabama was kind of 1A, 1B. So two years later to still have that opportunity… He was listening to some of the other schools too, but I kind of knew in my heart that it was going to be Alabama."

Before Monday, the Tide only had two wide receivers who recorded more than three catches last year. Now, Alabama has another receiver with starting experience, a whole bunch more speed for its new quarterback Bryce Young and - as DeVonta Smith can attest to - someone who's capable of contributing on special teams if need be as well. "He didn't leave Ohio State just because he wants the ball all the time," Gregory said. "He's a team-first guy. But at the end of the day, he just wanted to go somewhere where he can be more productive and help a team in more ways." - Birmingham News
