Ryan Williams, only 17 years old, is already making a name for himself in college football, but his home setup has fans scratching their heads. Despite being a rising star for the Alabama Crimson Tide, it seems his bedroom tech hasn’t caught up with his gridiron success just yet.
The talented wide receiver graduated high school early after earning back-to-back Mr. Football awards in Alabama in both 2022 and 2023. His early entry into college football has been nothing short of spectacular, highlighted by his breakout performance in a thrilling 41-34 victory over the Georgia Bulldogs. In that game, Williams racked up 177 receiving yards and sealed the win with a jaw-dropping 75-yard touchdown, complete with a spin move that left defenders in the dust.
That single performance not only electrified fans but also sent Williams’ NIL (Name, Image, and Likeness) valuation skyrocketing, doubling to an impressive $1.5 million overnight. With that kind of money rolling in, you’d think the teenager would be living the high life, complete with all the latest gadgets and luxuries.
But when a photo surfaced of Williams’ extra-tiny bedroom TV, fans were left in disbelief. The image of his modest, small-screen TV had fans wondering if he had simply mounted an iPad on the wall.

The comically small TV was reportedly being used to watch game tape of Williams’ performance against Vanderbilt, leaving fans to joke that maybe he was trying to avoid fully reliving Alabama’s recent shock defeat.
The photo quickly went viral, sparking a flood of reactions and memes on social media. Comments ranged from jokes about his tech setup to genuine surprise at how such a successful athlete could have such a humble TV in his room.
One fan joked, “Is that a Game Boy screen?” while another commented, “With all that NIL money, he can buy a bigger TV!”
The irony is, Williams has a massive screen in his living room where he has been seen playing College Football 25 as himself, a fitting display for a college athlete who is already a star in the making. But the contrast between his high-tech living room and his tiny bedroom TV has only added to the humor of the situation.
For Williams, though, the small TV may be the least of his concerns. As long as he’s keeping up with his studies, taking care of his health, and continuing to shine on the football field, he’s on the right track.
The life of a college athlete can be a whirlwind, and for Williams, juggling football stardom, schoolwork, and NIL deals is a lot to handle for a 17-year-old. But with his talent, work ethic, and growing success, Williams will be just fine—regardless of what size TV he watches film on.
As fans continue to follow his journey, it’s clear that Williams is destined for greatness. And who knows—maybe after a few more standout performances, that tiny bedroom TV will get an upgrade.
Until then, it’s all part of the charm of being a college student, even one with million-dollar potential.
