The Florida State Seminoles had an impressive month of June with eight commitments gained in their 2027 recruiting class. However, just before that, on May 31, they lost four-star safety Mekhi Williams as he decommitted and then pledged to the Wisconsin Badgers.
Shortly after Williams left the program, he mentioned that he didn't want to completely close the door on FSU after he attended a 7-on-7 camp in Tallahassee in June. Per Zach Blostein of 247Sports, the Seminoles will do the same, as their pursuit of him hasn't stopped.
Florida State is still making an effort with Ruskin (Fla.) Lennard four-star safety Mekhi Williams, who flipped from the Seminoles to Wisconsin over the summer. Williams, however, says he is locked in with the Badgers and does not currently intend to take any other visits this fall.
Williams is the nation's No. 219 overall recruit and the No. 18 safety according to 247Sports composite rankings. He's ranked as the No. 24 prospect in the state of Florida as well.
FSU was able to add four-star Ta'Shawn Poole and shut down the recruitment of three-star Jemari Foreman at the safety spot. Plus, they added four-star athlete Za'Kari Johnson, who will play in the secondary as well. That clearly hasn't wavered them on Williams, and it'll be a situation to keep an eye on, especially if Florida State has a successful season.
