Florida State's recruiting efforts in the 2027 class got off to a fast start. Earlier this year, #Tribe27 climbed to No. 1 in the country.
However, the Seminoles have suffered a pair of decommitments in recent months. That's not really a big surprise considering how early it is in the recruiting cycle.
Another one of Florida State's top pledges is drawing interest from a highly-regarded SEC program.
On Wednesday evening, the Georgia Bulldogs became the latest suitor for four-star defensive back Bryce Williams. The rising junior has been committed to the Seminoles since April 1.
Williams has already visited Florida State twice this year. It's unclear if he has plans to get over to Athens. He's picked up a variety of offers in recent weeks, earning interest from Florida, North Carolina, Arkansas, and Penn State, among others.

The 6-foot-2, 175-pound cornerback is regarded as the No. 196 overall prospect, the No. 20 CB, and the No. 20 recruit in Florida according to the 247Sports composite ratings.
Last season at Western High School, Williams totaled 29 tackles, one tackle for loss, 14 pass deflections, and three interceptions in 12 games. He helped guide his team to a deep run into the postseason.
Williams still has two season remaining at the prep level but he's on track to continue growing into a legitimate blue-chip prospect. He's got a skyhigh ceiling and the type of frame that Florida State covets in the back end of the defense.
Florida State holds three verbal commitments in its 2027 class which ranks No. 5 in the country.
