Oklahoma Secures 2027 Quarterback Commit from Jamison Roberts The Oklahoma Sooners have officially landed their 2027 quarterback commit, as Saraland (Ala.) High signal caller Jamison Roberts announced his decision to join the program via social media. Roberts, a standout prospect, becomes the 15th member of Oklahoma’s 2027 recruiting class and the lone quarterback in the group. His commitment solidifies the Sooners’ position as a top destination for elite talent, with Roberts choosing Oklahoma over offers from Florida, Georgia, Auburn, Ole Miss, and several other Power Five programs. Roberts, ranked as the No. 289 overall recruit in the 2027 class by 247Sports Composite Player Rankings, is also listed as the No. 22 quarterback nationally and a top-15 player in Alabama. According to 247Sports, he is a high three-star talent with an 89 player grade, the highest rating for a three-star recruit. The network also elevates him to the No. 21 signal caller in the country and a top-14 prospect in Alabama. The scouting report from 247Sports’ network director of scouting, Andrew Ivins, highlights Roberts’ dual-threat abilities. Described as a dynamic player who excels with both his arm and legs, Roberts spent his sophomore season behind Texas signee KJ Lacey before taking over as Saraland’s starter as a junior. During his junior season, he led the Spartans to a 13-1 record and a berth in the Alabama 6A championship game. Roberts’ performance in 2025 was impressive, with a 73-percent completion rate (219 of 300 passes) and 37 touchdowns to just five interceptions. He also rushed for 641 yards and 21 touchdowns on 104 carries, averaging 6.2 yards per carry. Standing at 6-foot-2.5 and 190 pounds, Roberts’ athleticism allows him to thrive in both passing and running situations.#saraland_high #oklahoma_sooners #jamison_roberts #247sports #alabama_6a_championship_game
Alabama's Ryan Williams Makes Jersey Changes Ahead of Potential Bounce-Back Season Alabama wide receiver Ryan Williams is set to enter the 2026 college football season with a new jersey number and a revised name, signaling a fresh start as he prepares for his junior season. The rising junior, who previously wore number 2, will switch to number 1—a tribute to his high school days at Saraland High in Alabama. His name will also change to Ryan Coleman-Williams, incorporating his mother’s last name, Tiffany Coleman, as part of a personal branding effort. The update was hinted at during the 2025 season when Williams wore the names “Coleman” and “Williams” across his eye black during Alabama’s victory over Tennessee in October. He explained the decision afterward, stating, “It’s both of my last names. I just wanted to represent. That’s pretty much it.” The jersey change carries sentimental weight for Williams, as he starred in high school with number 1, emerging as a five-star recruit and one of the most sought-after prospects in the 2024 class. However, his college career has been marked by uneven performance. As a freshman in 2024, Williams made an immediate impact, recording 48 receptions for 865 yards and eight touchdowns, including a standout 177-yard performance against then-No. 2 Georgia. That season established him as a breakout star in college football. Yet, his sophomore year in 2025 saw a decline in consistency. Despite finishing second on the team with 49 receptions and 689 yards, Williams struggled with a 16.9% drop rate, one of the highest among FBS receivers. The explosive plays that defined his freshman campaign became less frequent, raising questions about his ability to maintain his high-level production.#ryan_williams #tiffany_coleman #saraland_high #alabama #derrick_nix
