The sound of silence was deafening last night when Alabama star wide receiver Jameson Williams fell to the turf inside of Lucas Oil Stadium.
After hauling in a 40-yard reception, without receiving any contact, Williams went down with a knee injury. Williams would miss the remainder of the national championship game.
Williams’s absence became obvious for the Alabama offense, as the Tide could not connect on many big plays or finish in the red zone.
Late Tuesday afternoon, the fear of many was confirmed by Adam Schefter on Twitter.
Alabama's Jameson Williams, the projected top WR in the 2022 NFL Draft, tore his ACL last night vs. Georgia, per sources. Doctors believe that, after surgery within the next 10 days, Williams will retain his sub 4.3 speed, and they expect a full recovery.

Williams is expected to enter the NFL draft and hopefully, he can make a quick and full recovery so he can continue his playing career at the next level.
