LSU Poised to Flip FSU's Top 2027 Recruit
10 May
Summary
- LSU is projected to flip four-star safety Mekhi Williams from FSU.
- Williams is FSU's highest-rated and longest-tenured 2027 commit.
- Williams has official visits scheduled with Wisconsin, Nebraska, and LSU.
The FSU Seminoles are facing a potential major recruiting setback as LSU is projected to flip their highest-rated 2027 commit, four-star safety Mekhi Williams. Williams, who has been committed to FSU for over a year, recently indicated he is exploring other options. This development comes as Williams has scheduled official visits to Wisconsin on May 29, Nebraska on June 12, and LSU on June 19, in addition to a visit to FSU on June 5.
LSU appears to hold significant momentum in Williams' recruitment, with an On3 reporter logging a prediction for the Tigers to secure the flip. Losing Williams would be a substantial blow to FSU, as he is their most highly-ranked recruit by a considerable margin. FSU was the first school to offer Williams in January 2025, and he has visited numerous times, while LSU offered him much later, on May 4, 2026, and he has not yet visited them.
