Sad to see Roydell go but it is best for him and Bama. The young guns are more talented and he surely wants more carries than he was going to get next season

He never announced that


I read it and saw an announcement on Twitter I am almost positive but not sure if it was this person or not . See he mentions “changes his mind”

Here is where I read it

This seems odd to me. I felt like Roydell was a solid piece of the puzzle for us.

Maybe he just wants to go somewhere that he can get more carries? There are a lot of mouths to feed in the RB room, plus you have a QB that eats up some carries with designed QB runs as well.

Probably . He is a good solid RB but wasn’t the featured back here

OM boards were speculating that a RB from the SEC was coming there and most had it as either Hunter from AU or McClellan …. Could be Roydell

Have no idea . But most accounts won’t put up images without some info like all the declaration announcements . Don’t think they would just put up one yesterday on Roydell without knowledge

Most won't, but there are plenty that will to seem like they are first or have the inside scoop. They look to be one of them.

Saban 'not doing what needs to be done'. Roydell has been a true UA guy


Id rather Saban kept Rodell and gotten rid of Seth.

He only carried the ball once during the game. Jam carried it once as well, and Haynes carried 4 times. That surprised me because I thought he ran hard against UGA.

I think it’s the best move for Roydell. I always thought he was a good back, maybe even better than Jace, but he doesn’t have the upside like the 3 younger guys. He and Jace both just weren’t quite the same after their injuries. I appreciate what both of them have done for the program and have enjoyed watching them

Saban said something about Roydell having an ankle injury or something as to why he didn't play much in the playoff.

The first time I saw Roydell Williams play I thought he was a prototype running back. I expected him to have an outstanding career. I wonder what happened.
