Williams had been pledged to the Seminoles for more than a year.<\/p>\n However, in recent months, it became clear that FSU was battling to keep Williams in the fold. Wisconsin, Nebraska<\/a>, and LSU<\/a> joined the hunt, with the blue-chip prospect scheduling official visits to each other school.<\/p>\n “This decision wasn’t easy, but God has a plan for me, and I know this is the best decision for myself. Thank you, God, for the opportunity, and I just want to thank you in advance! I just want to thank all the coaches for the opportunity to be a part of your program,” Williams wrote on social media.<\/p>\n Advertisement<\/p>\n “After careful consideration, a long talk with my family, I have decided to decommit and will not be attending Florida State,” Williams continued. “I truly appreciate the time, effort, and support you have shown me throughout the process. I wish the program success. Thanks again to the coaches for everything! Thank you, Nole Nation.”<\/p>\n Williams was expected to return to Florida State next weekend. That trip is off the board as he’s trending towards a commitment to the Badgers.<\/p>\n This is a loss that stings. Not only does Florida State lose its top commitment to a program far away from the Sunshine State, but it’s not like Wisconsin is in a much better position than the Seminoles.<\/p>\n Advertisement<\/p>\n Badgers head coach Luke Fickell is on the hot seat, just like Mike Norvell. Wisconsin has failed to qualify for a bowl game in consecutive seasons, and a similar result this fall could result in Fickell being fired.<\/p>\n It just goes to show how much Florida State has fallen, even with prospects well within its recruiting footprint.<\/p>\n During his junior season at Lennard High School, Williams totaled 33 tackles, four pass deflections, and two interceptions. He recorded a season-high seven tackles and two pass deflections in a 35-0 victory against Lakewood Ranch High School on September 26.<\/p>\n The 6-foot-2.5, 160-pound defensive back is regarded as the No. 197 overall prospect, the No. 17 S, and the No. 21 recruit in Florida<\/a> in the 2027 class according to the 247Sports Composite Ratings.<\/p>\n Advertisement<\/p>\n Information On Florida State’s 2027 Class<\/p>\n With Williams moving on, Florida State holds seven verbal commitments in #Tribe27, which ranks No. 47 in the country.<\/p>\n Who Is Committed To FSU In The 2027 Class?<\/p>\n Three-Star QB Logan Flaherty<\/p>\n Three-Star TE Connor Winn<\/p>\n Three-Star DE Anthony Cavallaro<\/p>\n Three-Star DL Eric Vaulx Jr.<\/p>\n Four-Star LB Gregory Batson<\/p>\n Three-Star DB Jemari Foreman<\/p>\n Three-Star DB DaYon Cooper<\/p>\n Who Does Florida State Have In The Defensive Backfield For The 2026 Season?<\/p>\n Ashlynd Barker<\/a>, Redshirt Senior<\/p>\n Donny Hiebert, Senior<\/p>\n Quindarrius Jones, Senior<\/p>\n KJ Kirkland, Redshirt Junior<\/p>\n Ja’Bril Rawls, Redshirt Junior<\/p>\n Advertisement<\/p>\n Karson Hobbs, Junior<\/p>\n Nehemiah Chandler, Redshirt Sophomore<\/p>\n CJ Richard Jr., Redshirt Sophomore<\/p>\n Jarvis Boatwright, Redshirt Sophomore<\/p>\n Charles Lester III, Redshirt Sophomore<\/p>\n Ricky Knight III, Redshirt Sophomore<\/p>\n Jamari Howard, Redshirt Sophomore<\/p>\n Ma’Khi Jones, Sophomore<\/p>\n Gregory Xavier Thomas<\/a>, Redshirt Freshman<\/p>\n Max Redmon, Redshirt Freshman<\/p>\n Antonio Cromartie<\/a> Jr., Redshirt Freshman<\/p>\n Chauncey Kennon, Freshman<\/p>\n Darryl Bell III, Freshman<\/p>\n Jordan Crutchfield, Freshman<\/p>\n Sign up for ourfree newsletter<\/a>and follow us onFacebook<\/a>,X<\/a>, andInstagram<\/a>for the latest news.<\/p>\n This article was originally published on www.si.com\/college\/fsu as Florida State’s Top Commitment Reopens Recruitment<\/a>.<\/p>\n![\"Mekhi](\"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-fl\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/06\/ea03cd91b25d5a39dcb39866c4dcd4de.jpeg\"\/)
