SEC program expected to flip FSU's highest-rated commit
The FSU Seminoles are battling to hold onto four-star safety Mekhi Williams, but the LSU Tigers have emerged as the favorite.
The FSU Seminoles have six commitments in the 2027 recruiting cycle , with four-star safety Mekhi Williams being the highest-ranked. While he has been committed for over a year, he recently admitted that he is keeping his "options open. " Several schools are working to flip him from FSU, with Williams set to officially visit the Wisconsin Badgers (May 29), Nebraska Cornhuskers (June 12), and LSU Tigers (June 19) over the summer, in addition to the Seminoles (June 5).
While they all have a shot, LSU appears to have the momentum in his recruitment. Shea Dixon, who covers LSU for On3, logged a prediction in LSU's favor to pull off the flip of Williams. It is the only prediction about where Williams will end up.
It would be a massive blow to FSU to lose Williams. Not only is he their highest-rated and longest-tenured commit, it is not particularly close. Williams is the No.
178 overall player in the Rivals industry ranking; Gregory Batson is the next-highest at No. 334. FSU has been recruiting Williams longer than anyone else in the country.
