FSU football loses top recruit Mekhi Williams to Wisconsin

Summary

Mekhi Williams, a 4-star safety and Florida State Seminoles' highest-rated commit, has decommitted after a visit to Wisconsin. Williams, who is ranked as the No. 31 player in the USA TODAY Florida Top 100, announced his commitment to the Badgers shortly afterward. Florida State has struggled with decommitments, losing four commitments in the current recruiting cycle, including three Top 100 players.
