Florida State will see another offensive player enter the transfer portal, as former 5-star wide receiver and South Florida native Hykeem Williams will seek a different program to play for in 2025.
The news was reported by both On3 and 247Sports.
The wide receiver played in four games in 2023 (including the Orange Bowl) and nine in 2024 after missing the first three games of the year due to an injury.
He finishes his time in Tallahassee with just two touchdowns, a 40-yard score against Syracuse his freshman year and one against Charleston Southern in 2024, along with 21 receptions for 267 yards.
When he committed to FSU, he became the highest-rated wide receiver that Norvell signed at Florida State and remains the only composite five-star signed in during the head coach’s tenure.
