Florida State received one of its most surprising departures of the offseason earlier this week. After signing with the Seminoles as a five-star prospect in 2022, junior wide receiver Hykeem Williams has elected to enter the NCAA Transfer. The move marks the conclusion of a frustrating tenure in garnet and gold for Williams.
Injuries limited his impact in both of his seasons with the program and a recent hand ailment forced him to the sidelines for the remainder of spring practice. Williams still has a lot of potential and he's expected to be coveted by P4 programs in the portal. According to Noles247's Zach Blostein , Williams is already in the process of setting up visits.
