Ryan Coleman-Williams returns to wearing gloves for Alabama vs. Florida State

Alabama wide receiver Ryan Coleman-Williams has returned to wearing gloves during pregame warmups ahead of the Crimson Tide’s matchup against Florida State.

Earlier this season, Coleman-Williams had decided not to wear gloves, a move intended to address performance issues. However, he continued to struggle with drops during the first two games of the 2026 season, including a Week 1 game against East Carolina. The decision to reintroduce gloves appears to be an effort to regain confidence and consistency.

This development comes as Alabama prepares to start freshman quarterback Keelon Russell, making the performance of key receivers critical for the team's success in this early-season matchup.
