At a time when the Florida State football program could definitely use some good news, the Seminoles landed a commitment Wednesday from 2026 linebacker Izayia Williams over Florida and Miami.

According to the On3 Recruiting Prediction Machine, the Gators had over a 99 percent chance of landing Williams before he announced his decision. The 6-foot, 200-pound recruit is ranked as the 41st-best player in the 2026 class, as well as the nation third-best linebacker by On3.

The Leesburg, Fla., product was previously committed to Syracuse until August when he decommitted from the Orange and stated he would only be focusing on the big three Florida schools.

This past weekend, the top recruit made his first trip to Doak Campbell Stadium for a game, and despite the results, he loved it so much that he told Warchant that the Seminoles were his top school.

“Yes sir, they are No. 1 right now,” Williams told Warchant. “It was a good performance from the defense to me.”
