Badgers Target FSU Commit for 2027 Safety Star
15 Feb
Summary
- Wisconsin courts four-star safety Mekhi Williams, an FSU commit.
- Williams will take an official visit to Wisconsin in June.
- ESPN ranks him a Top 10 safety and Top 100 player nationally.
The Wisconsin Badgers are actively pursuing Mekhi Williams, a highly-touted four-star safety prospect for the 2027 recruiting class. Williams, who is currently committed to Florida State, has scheduled an official visit to Wisconsin for the weekend of June 12. This visit presents a key opportunity for the Badgers to influence his decision.
ESPN has recognized Williams as a Top 10 safety and a Top 100 player overall in the country. Despite his nearly year-long commitment to Florida State, Williams has indicated that his recruitment remains entirely open. Wisconsin's coaching staff, led by Luke Fickell, is determined to recruit him aggressively throughout the summer with the goal of flipping his commitment.
The Badgers' interest in Williams is significant, especially given their limited safety recruitment in the 2026 class. A player of Williams' caliber could potentially compete for immediate playing time as a freshman. Wisconsin already has one safety committed for the 2027 class, in-state player Dustin Roach.
