TUSCALOOSA, Ala. — Alabama football junior wide receiver Jameson Williams is the BamaCentral Crimson Tide Athlete of the Week for the week of Oct. 4-10, 2021. Williams wins the honor for the second time in the last three weeks.

Williams was the second-favorite target of quarterback Bryce Young on Saturday, seeing 13 targets from the sophomore signal caller. Of those 13 targets, Williams made 10 receptions for 146 yards and two touchdowns. All three of those figures led the Crimson Tide wide receivers.

Williams also made the go-ahead touchdown reception in the fourth quarter to give Alabama a 36-31 lead, then caught a two-point conversion pass from Young to put the Crimson Tide up by an even touchdown with five minutes to go in the game.

Despite the efforts by Williams, Alabama football ultimately lost to the Aggies 41-38 due to a game-winning field goal as the clock expired.

Also considered:

1. Brian Robinson Jr. (redshirt-senior running back, football)

Rushed for his second game of over 100 yards of rushing against the Aggies, rushing for 147 yards on 24 carries

While he didn't make it into the end zone, Robinson averaged 6.1 yards per carry

2. Bryce Young (sophomore quarterback, football)

Continued to make his case as a Heisman Trophy favorite, completing 28-of-48 passes for 369 yards, two touchdown and an interception against Texas A&M
