Four-star defensive back Mekhi Williams opened up his recruitment over the weekend, decommitting from Florida State after being pledged to the Seminoles for over a year.
Now, the Ruskin (Fla.) Lennard product is ready to make the call on his school of choice.
Williams will announce his commitment at 5:00 p.m. EST on Wednesday and it will be streamed live on the CBS Sports College Football Youtube Channel.
The 6-foot-2.5, 160-pound safety will choose between three finalists: LSU, Wisconsin and Nebraska.
The Badgers are the program trending ahead of his imminent announcement. He was finishing up an official visit to Wisconsin this past weekend when he made the decision to decommit from the ‘Noles.
Luke Fickell and his coaching staff have made Williams a top priority for much of this year and that effort could soon pay off.
247Sports ranks Williams as the No. 107 overall prospect and No. 10 cornerback in the 2027 recruiting class.
Scouting Report on Williams via 247Sports Director of Scouting Andrew Ivins:
– Deep safety with ballhawk tendencies that has impressed as a man-to-man defender.
– Tall and lean, but on pace to start college well before 17th birthday.
– Gets to all different corners of the field with his range as he flips the hips to gain depth or charges forward to keep containment.
– Swarms the catch point and gets his hands on passes (10 interceptions in 30 varsity games).
– Will come to balance as an open-field tackler, but needs to improve play strength in hopes of finding more stopping power.
– Got looks on the perimeter as a junior and has shown the ability to hang in 1-on-1 situations.
– Will likely need a redshirt year to get the body right, but combination of length, speed and production suggests that he can be an impact player in a Power Four secondary.
