Breaking News: 5-Star WR Ryan Williams Flips Commitment to Ohio State.
In a stunning turn of events, five-star wide receiver Ryan Williams has announced his decision to flip his commitment and join the Ohio State Buckeyes. Williams, one of the most electrifying playmakers in the 2025 recruiting class, was previously considering powerhouse programs such as Alabama, Florida, LSU, and Tennessee before ultimately choosing the Buckeyes.
The move comes as a major win for Ohio State head coach Ryan Day, who continues to establish the Buckeyes as one of the nation’s premier destinations for elite wide receiver talent. With Williams now in the fold, Ohio State’s already strong 2025 recruiting class gets even better, reinforcing its reputation as “Wide Receiver U.”
Williams, a 6-foot-1, 175-pound speedster out of Alabama, was initially committed to the Crimson Tide before reopening his recruitment. Many expected him to stay in the SEC, with LSU and Tennessee making strong pushes in recent weeks. However, Ohio State’s track record of developing NFL-caliber receivers, along with the appeal of playing under offensive coordinator Chip Kelly, proved too enticing to pass up.
“I just felt like Ohio State was the best place for me,” Williams said. “The culture, the coaching staff, and the way they develop receivers—it just felt like home.”
With his commitment, Williams joins an already loaded receiver room and will look to make an immediate impact in Columbus. For the rest of the college football world, his decision serves as yet another reminder of Ohio State’s dominance in recruiting top-tier pass
catchers.
