Top-100 Prospect Sets Decision With FSU Football Looking For Recruiting Win

The Florida State Seminoles need something good to happen.

There hasn't been much positive news floating around in Tallahassee lately. For the most part, it was a quiet spring for the Seminoles.

Florida State has dropped out of the top 40 of the recruiting class rankings, netting just one commitment since the beginning of February. The needs are piling up at various positions.

However, a recruiting win could be waiting just around the corner.

Four-Star OL Jatori Williams Committing This Month

According to 247Sports' Tom Loy, four-star offensive lineman Jatori Williams is closing in on a decision.

The top-100 prospect plans to announce his commitment on May 22. Five schools remain in contention to land one of the most highly-regarded offensive linemen in the 2027 class; Florida State, Miami, Alabama, Auburn, and Kentucky.

Williams revealed his top-5 last month, but he's replaced Georgia with Alabama going into his announcement.

Florida State has remained in the hunt for over a year, with offensive line coach Herb Hand leading the charge for Williams. He's been a frequent visitor to campus, including a pair of trips in March and April.

The Seminoles are hoping their longstanding relationships will pay off in the form of a much-needed recruiting victory. That much is to be determined, as Miami is working with plenty of momentum, and Alabama is rising up quickly late in this recruitment.

The 6-foot-5, 320-pound offensive lineman is regarded as the No. 92 overall prospect, the No. 6 IOL, and the No. 4 recruit in Alabama in the 2027 class according to 247Sports.
