Amaree Williams: The Multitalented Prospect Setting His Sights on FSU

In the whirlwind world of high school football, Amaree Williams from North Palm Beach's The Benjamin School is has pulled a fast one.

He's fast-forwarding his football journey by reclassifying from the 2025 class. And guess what? He's got his eyes set on a weekend visit to Florida State University.

Standing tall at 6-foot-4 and weighing 215 pounds, Williams is turning heads. He's a hot commodity on the recruiting circuit, with a fan club that includes the likes of Georgia, Florida, Miami, and a whole host of other football powerhouses. This guy is not just a defensive dynamo; he's ranked as the nation's No. 11 athlete and No.182 prospect overall by 247Sports.

But wait, there's more to Williams than just tackling and sacking.

He's also a two-way talent, doubling as a jumbo wide receiver. Imagine this: he converted 16 receptions into 424 yards and seven touchdowns.

On defense, he racked up 34 tackles, eight for loss, and four sacks in just 10 games. And let's not forget his sophomore year extravaganza of 15 sacks. This guy's a highlight reel in cleats.

He's got the genes for greatness (thanks, Dad Moe Williams, for the NFL pedigree), and he's a natural whether he's catching passes or disrupting plays.

The big question on everyone's mind is, "Will he bulk up?" His physical development is the X-factor in deciding whether he'll be dodging defenders or dashing past them on Saturdays.

FSU could very well be the launchpad for this versatile athlete’s college career. With his rare athletic traits, Williams isn't just a player to watch; he's a player to get excited about. 🌟🏈

Jarrian Jones: Suiting Up for One Last Showdown in the Orange Bowl

In the ever-twisting saga of who's in and who's out for Florida State's Orange Bowl appearance, one mystery has been delightfully solved.

Jarrian Jones, in a blend of farewell and excitement, announced on Twitter his plans to play in the Seminoles’ game against Georgia. It’s a classic case of saving the best for last!

After spending his freshman year at Mississippi State and the last four at FSU, Jones' college football tenure is coming to an impressive close.

Rated as FSU's top player by Pro Football Focus with a score of 90.3, he stood third nationally among cornerbacks who took significant snaps.

He had a ton of highlights in 2023: A game-sealing interception against Miami and a stat line boasting 25 tackles, 5 tackles for loss, one sack, and leading the team with three interceptions. Jones was a key factor in FSU securing the second-best pass efficiency defense in the nation.

Could Jones’ Orange Bowl commitment inspire other NFL-aspiring Seminoles to join the fray? Last year, he was the catalyst for several players returning for what turned out to be a remarkable season.

As he previously stated, “I felt if we came back to school and did it the right way, we could do something major.” And they certainly did.

With open practices to the media next week, we'll get more clarity on FSU’s lineup for the Orange Bowl.

For now, let’s appreciate Jones’ decision to make his final FSU appearance a memorable one. 🏈🌟

A Whirlwind Week in The Portal for FSU: QB Visits and Roster Changes

Buckle up, Seminole fans! It's been nothing short of a rollercoaster in the world of college football transfers. Florida State has been right in the thick of it, balancing hellos and goodbyes, and eyeing potential new stars.

The Exodus: A notable list of Seminoles have signaled their departure, with 11 players from the 2023 team making their way to the Transfer Portal. This includes names like Markeston Douglas, Preston Daniel, CJ Campbell, and Winston Wright, among others.

Intent to Transfer Buzz: The rumor mill's been churning this week with whispers of more departures.

Key contributors like DT Malcolm Ray, LB DJ Lundy, and RB Rodney Hill have hinted at exploring new horizons.

Though not officially in the Portal yet (except Hill), it seems like they’re all but headed out of Tallahassee.

QB Visits and More: FSU's not just watching players leave; they're rolling out the red carpet for some exciting prospects.

Washington State QB Cameron Ward and Oregon State QB DJ Uiagalelei are on campus for official visits, potentially eyeing a future in garnet and gold.

Legacy Defender on the Radar: Here's a name that'll ring a bell – Marvin Jones Jr., the son of Seminole legend Marvin Jones, is visiting FSU this weekend.

This former five-star recruit and Georgia EDGE player is a hot commodity, and Miami's also in the mix for his commitment.

Other Targets in Sight: FSU isn't putting all its eggs in one basket.

They've been checking in on talents like Mississippi State RB Jo'Quavious Marks and Alabama WR Ja'Corey Brooks.

And let's not forget the DE targets like Falil Diggs and LT Overton, though they've got plans elsewhere this weekend.

In the never-sleeping world of college football transfers, FSU is staying active and alert.

It's a game of chess, and Coach Norvell seems to be making his moves carefully.

Who will stay, who will go, and who will join the ranks? Only time will tell, but one thing's for sure – it's never dull in Seminole territory! 🏈🔄🍢
