On Wednesday, Florida State extended an offer to four-star defensive end and 2027 recruit, Abraham Sesay. The rising senior referred to Williams, defensive line coach Terrance Knighton, and associate head coach Odell Haggins when revealing the news on social media.

Sesay's first offer came from Syracuse when Williams was with the program. He visited the Orange in September, meaning there is a previous relationship and bond that has been established between the two.

The Pennsylvania native hasn't visited Florida State during his recruitment. That might change now that Williams is in town.

During his junior season at Downington East High School, Sesay recorded over 80 tackles and 13 sacks.

The 6-foot-5, 215-pound defensive end is regarded as the No. 79 overall prospect, the No. 10 EDGE, and the No. 5 recruit in Pennsylvania in the 2027 class according to the 247Sports composite ratings.

Williams has shown his chops as a recruiter during previous stints at Georgia, Texas A&M, Colorado, and Syracuse. The Seminoles are hoping he'll be able to get the pass-rush back on track, and that starts with getting talent through the doors.

Information On Florida State's 2027 class

Florida State holds four verbal commitments in its 2027 class which ranks No. 9 in the country.

The Seminoles haven't added a defensive end to the fold yet.
