Alabama football got its second wide receiver recruit in as many days on Tuesday. Brian Williams Jr. announced his commitment to the Crimson Tide as part of the 2026 class.

Williams is a three-star prospect, according to 247Sports’ composite ratings. He plays his high school football at the First Academy in Orlando.

He chose Alabama over a list of offers that included Florida, Penn State and Arkansas.

“Traits-heavy outside wide receiver with the length and athleticism to bake into a difference-maker, but one where the on-field production has yet to really materialize,” 247Sports director of scouting Andrew Ivins wrote in his scouting report of Williams. “Looks the part with a lanky frame that stretches close to 6-foot-4 and pairs the outstanding size with green speed and explosion scores.

“Displays good initial burst off the line and will sink his hips to snap in and out of his breaks. Not the most physical player at this stage, but finds ways to beat man coverage with his quick feet and sharp releases.”

Williams will play his first season at the First Academy in 2025. He spent last year at Lake Mary, which played in the 7A state championship in Florida, making 23 catches for 359 yards and five touchdowns, despite missing time due to injury.

The 6-foot-4, 190-pound Williams also participated in track and field. He qualified for the state championship in high jump at Lake Mary.

Williams became the second receiver commit in two days for Alabama, joining Owen Cabell, a three-star from Tennessee who announced on Monday. Williams is the 16th player to join the Crimson Tide’s 2026 group, which has vaulted into the top 10 nationally over the past few weeks.
