The Wisconsin Badgers have been named the favorite to flip four-star safety Mekhi Williams from Florida State.

Williams took to social media on Sunday, May 31, to announce he'd be decommitting from Florida State, a school he previously committed to back on March 26, 2025.

"This decision wasn't easy, but God has a plan for me and I know this is the best decision for myself," he wrote. "Thank you God for the opportunity and I just wanna thank you in advance!"

Williams continued, "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 added.

Now that he's officially decommitted, all eyes are on the Badgers. Williams, a top-200 recruit, is fresh off a visit to Madison, and three experts on 247Sports have logged a prediction he'll become Luke Fickell's next recruit in his stellar class of 2027.

Should Williams, the No. 17 safety, commit to Wisconsin, he would immediately become the team's highest-ranked recruit. The Florida native would join DJ Davis and Dustin Roach as the team's safety commits.
