There will be four billboards featuring Williams across Tuscaloosa, and there will also be a pair in his hometown of Mobile, according to Alabama's social media.

EA announced Tuesday that Williams and Ohio State star receiver Jeremiah Smith will be the cover of the new College Football game, which comes out July 10.

Williams was ecstatic when he found out he would be on the cover.

"An abundance of excitement," Williams told Bleacher Report. "It's incomparable to anything you can even imagine. It's one of those moments where any words I say won't be able to describe the feeling. Even just thinking about it gives me chills. It's one of those moments where I was just super excited to get that message. It's a blessing."

It's no surprise that Williams was one of the two athletes given a spot on the cover, considering the freshman season he had. He posted 865 receiving yards and eight touchdowns, showing many times that he's ready to compete against top programs.

He'll look to follow up the fantastic start with an even better Year 2.
