The Florida State Seminoles continue to flesh out their recruiting board in the middle of May. The coaching staff is making sure to have plenty of options on the table ahead of the beginning of official visits.

On Thursday, FSU extended a new offer on the trail.

According to his social media, 2026 athlete Edrick Williams has received an offer from the Seminoles. Williams referred to defensive backs coach Patrick Surtain Sr., head coach Mike Norvell, assistant defensive backs coach Greg Moss, and director of recruiting strategy DJ Daniels when revealing the news on social media.

Williams has seen his recruitment begin to grow this offseason. He's picked up interest from Georgia State, UAB, Arkansas State, Middle Tennessee State, and South Alabama, among others.

As a junior, Williams was credited with 45 tackles, five tackles for loss, two interceptions, one forced fumble, one fumble recovery, and one blocked punt for Daphne High School. He recorded a season-high 12 tackles and one tackle for loss in a 21-7 loss to Spanish Fort High School on September 27.

The 6-foot-0, 170-pound defensive back has not been ranked by 247Sports in the 2026 class.

Florida State holds nine verbal commitments in its 2026 class which ranks No. 23 in the country. The Seminoles previously landed four-star safety Darryl Bell III, four-star safety Tedarius Hughes, and three-star cornerback Sean Johnson.
