Izaia Williams will play his school soccer at Florida State.
The Tavares (Fla.) Excessive Faculty linebacker had been dedicated to Syracuse since April 15, however opted out of his dedication to the Orange on Sunday evening.
The rising junior mentioned he’ll now deal with tasks nearer to house. Three rivals within the Sunshine State, Florida State, Florida State and Miami will make up Williams’ new high group.
“I loved the recruiting course of,” Williams informed Rivals. “Every part about it.
“It was often because I knew when it was time to go to varsity, I used to be going to need to keep at Florida State.”
Whereas Williams is in no rush to make his third dedication so far, a program with potential upside for him might be the Gators.
“I have been a Florida State fan since I used to be a child,” he mentioned. “That was my faculty and I liked them. Once I acquired the admission, I used to be actually excited. I instantly known as my uncle, who’s the Gator’s greatest fan.”
The Hurricanes even have some intrigue.
“My grandparents had been Miami followers,” Williams mentioned. “I would by no means been to Miami earlier than, so I wished to see what it was all about. Coach (Derek) Nicholson thought I used to be a Will supporter.”
Florida would not have many ties to different in-state powers, and out-of-state powers would get some consideration if the SEC made a suggestion.
“I need to go to Georgia,” he mentioned.
Williams, a former security who turned to throwing after operating an 11.05-second 100-meter sprint at 215 kilos, hopes to deal with transitioning to inside linebacker at his new highschool.
