Ruskin (Fla.) Lennard four-star safety Mekhi Williams backed away from a longtime pledge to Florida State on Sunday.

“This decision wasn’t easy, but God has a plan for me and I know this is the best decision for myself,” Williams said. “Thank you God for the opportunity and I just wanna thank you in advance! I just wanna thank all the coaches for the opportunity to be a part of your program. After careful consideration, and a long talk with my family, I have decided to decommit and will not be attending Florida State. I truly appreciate the time, effort, and support you have shown me throughout the process. I wish the program success. Thanks again to the coaches for everything! Thank you Nole nation!”

Williams made the decision while on an official visit to a Big Ten school. Now, I am hearing that program is trending in his recruitment.
