Five-Star WR Hykeem Williams commits to Florida State.

Five-star wide receiver Hykeem Williams of Fort Lauderdale (Fla.) Stranahan High announced his commitment to Florida State Friday afternoon.

The 6-foot-3, 215 pounder chose the Seminoles over Texas A&M, Pitt, Miami, Georgia, and Alabama.

The Sunshine State wide receiver joins coach Norvell and the Seminoles’ Top 20 class in the 2023 team rankings. He is accompanied by Keldric Faulk, Lucas Simmons, and others.

Hykeem Williams Scouting Summary

“Physically-developed receiver with plus body control and burst,” On3’s Director of Scouting
Charles Power wrote. “Possesses the balance and agility to make defenders miss in the open field as well as the juice to get upfield and pull through arm tackles after the catch. Has a big frame that carries his weight with ease.”

“Measured 6-foot-2.5, 193 pounds with a 6-foot-4.5 wing-span as a junior. Shows vertical ability on 50-50 balls and on the hardwood as a basketball player. Averaged a double-double in points (12.2) and rebounds (10.3) on the basketball court as a junior. Totaled 31 receptions for 693 yards and 6 touchdowns his junior season. Will develop a more diverse route tree as he transitions to the college game. Has all the physical tools to potentially turn into a dominant X-type receiver at the next level. On the older end among prospects in the 2023 cycle, turning 18 during his junior season.”

Williams currently ranks as the No. 20 player in the On3 Consensus, a complete and equally weighted industry-generated average that accounts for all four major recruiting services. He also tabs in as the No. 4 wide receiver and the No. 5 player in the state of Florida.
