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 coach Mike Norvell and the Seminoles amid their stunning 0-2 start to this season.

Williams, a 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 pulling back 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.
