Ryan Coleman-Williams has high expectations for his junior season with Alabama football. And now the Crimson Tide wide receiver has some weight behind it.
Coleman-Williams is one of three Alabama players named to the All-SEC preseason first team, joining defensive backs Zabien Brown and Bray Hubbard. Offensive lineman Michael Carroll was named to the second team, while linebacker Yhonzae Pierre and safety Keon Sabb was named to the third team.
Coleman-Williams was also named preseason first-team All-SEC in 2025 before he finished with 689 yards and four touchdowns on 49 catches.
"There are a lot of eyeballs on him," Alabama coach Kalen DeBoer said of Coleman-Williams at SEC Media Days. "He signed up for it. He's great with it. He embraces it. He gives everything he has to his teammates. He gives everything he has to the people he comes in contact with. I love the guy. So glad he's on our side."
Alabama opens the 2026 season against East Carolina at 11 a.m. CT on Saturday, Sept. 5 on ABC.
Here's the full All-SEC preseason teams picked by media attending SEC Media Days.
