Florida State landed a top-40 pledge in the 2026 class with a commitment from four-star safety Izayia Williams on Wednesday night, a recruiting victory for Mike Norvell and the Seminoles amid their stunning 0-2 start to this season.

Williams, the 6-foot-1, 210-pound defender from Tavares, Florida, is the No. 39 prospect in the ESPN Junior 300. He was previously committed to Syracuse before he pulled his pledge from the Orange on Aug. 4.

ESPN's fifth-ranked safety in the 2026 cycle, Williams is now the highest-rated member of a 2026 Florida State class that includes three other ESPN 300 pledges.
