Alabama WR Ryan Coleman-Williams revealed he got married over the offseason. The 19-year old enters his junior season with the Crimson Tide, already projected to get his bachelor’s degree in December (2.5 years of school) and some football tape under his belt.
So with all of that, he joined the SEC Network crew Wednesday during SEC Media Days and discussed being a newlywed. He also received some advice from the panel, including Nick Saban.

“So I got engaged, and then I actually got married in a courthouse,” Coleman-Williams said. “(We did it on) Juneteenth. And it’s been it’s been awesome because you know you know this summer I’ve just been able to just focus on ball because you know I got my girl in my corner.”
Saban’s advice came first. He never coached Coleman-Williams, having retired after the 2023 season, but his words certainly echoed for the wide receiver since the coach knows a thing or too being hitched to Miss Terry for over 50 years.
“After 54 years, okay, we have coffee cups, and mine says Mr. Right. Hers says Mrs. Never wrong, so she’s never wrong,” Saban said. That’s all I’m telling you,”

Then Roman Harper gave the Crimson Tide pass catcher his own advice. It was in the same vein of course!
“You know what? My dad gave me, he said, ‘Roman, when you get married, you get two choices,'” Harper began. “He said, ‘You can be happy or you can be right.’ He said, “I choose to be right outside my house. I’m happy inside the house.’ I said, “That’s all you got?'”
Host Alyssa Lang had the final word, saying “you know what, we’re always right.” Since she basically runs the show, perhaps she is correct!
As a freshman, Coleman-Williams broke out onto the scene, along with Ohio State’s Jeremiah Smith. He finished the year with 48 catches for 865 yards, eight touchdowns and 18 yards per catch.
Coleman-Williams’ numbers dropped last year, dipping to 49 catches for 689 yards, four touchdowns and 14.1 yards per catch. But, with some fine tuning this offseason and a fresh year on the way, perhaps he’ll revert to form and be even better, especially ahead of the 2027 NFL Draft.
