Elite LSU football recruiting target decommits from ACC school

One of LSU football's top targets in the 2027 class officially reopened his recruitment. Mekhi Williams decommitted from Florida State, according to a post on his social media account on Sunday.

>Williams made a trip to Madison for an unofficial visit with Wisconsin, his second in the last month. He also has an official visit schedule to Nebraska in June. Rivals' Prediction Machine lists the Badgers as the favorite to land the four-star safety.

>Rivals' Industry Rankings lists Williams as the No. 14 safety and No. 180 overall player in the 2027 cycle. A native of Ruskin, FL, he is the No. 19 player out of the state. He was originally slated to stay home and play for the Seminoles but decided to look at other options.

— Mekhi Williams 4⭐️ Defensive back (@Mekhiwilliams__) May 31, 2026The Tigers visited Williams earlier this month, putting themselves back on his radar. It remains to be seen if he will take his first trip to Baton Rouge. Head coach Lane Kiffin and staff rolled out the red carpet for several top 2027 recruits last weekend and could do the same for Williams.

>LSU's secondary coach Corey Raymond is one of the top DB recruiters in the sport, and he's had plenty of luck landing blue-chip recruits from Florida before. It's hard not to like LSU's chances in this race.
