Alabama’s 17-year-old star receiver writes blunt two-word message on eye black ahead of breakout game

True freshman Ryan Williams put on a show Saturday and he had a blatant message to go with it.

The Alabama receiver is only 17 years old, yet he looked like a superstar veteran against No. 2 Georgia on Saturday night.

Williams caught six passes for 177 yards and a touchdown for the second-seeded Crimson Tide in their epic 41-34 win over Georgia in a rematch of last season’s SEC title game.

After he made an impressive 54-yard grab, cameras zoomed in on him and caught a stern message on his eye tape.

Williams had written the words “KILL EVERYBODY” in white marker on his black tape.

In somewhat ironic fashion, he (not literally) killed Georgia, as his 75-yard touchdown was the game winner, despite Alabama blowing their own 28-point lead.

TRUMP ARRIVES AT ALABAMA-GEORGIA GAME ASSURING ‘USA’, ‘FOUR MORE YEAR’

Williams was the hero after Alabama suddenly found itself in despair. Alabama allowed a 67-yard touchdown against Georgia to trail by a point, but it took just one play by Jalen Milroe against Williams to regain the lead.

The Bulldogs faced a 4th-and-2 with 1:22 to go at the Bama 47, and Carson Beck found Colbie Young for the first down. Three plays later the Bulldogs were in the red zone. But Beck was intercepted after going into the end zone, and the touchback allowed Bama to run out the clock to get the win.

The loss was Georgia’s third since the 2021 season, all against Alabama. It should be noted that the Bulldogs defeated Bama in the 2022 national championship.

Bama improved to 4-0 with the win, and the question now is whether they will be in second or third place in the polls.
