Allison Williams has been a sideline reporter during the college football season for 15 years. But 2021 will mark the first season in a long time that Williams will be absent.

“My heart hurts posting this but I’m at peace with my decision,” Williams wrote. “While my work is incredibly important to me, the most important role I have is as a mother.”

Williams explained that throughout family planning with their doctor as well as a fertility specialist, she decided not to receive the vaccine while she and her husband try for a second child.

“I understand vaccines have been essential in the effort to end this pandemic; however, taking the vaccine at this time is not in my best interest,” she said. “After a lot of prayer and deliberation, I have decided I must put my family and personal health first.”
