Williams was known for his work as a recruiter. So far, he’s helped deliver four-star defensive end Anthony Cavallaro and three-star defensive end Jaxon Holly, two of FSU’s top targets in #Tribe27.
The young coach is staying active across the board.
Florida State Offers Four-Star Defensive End Jeremiah Figaro
Earlier this month, the Seminoles extended a scholarship to four-star defensive end Jeremiah Figaro, who referred to Williams, head coach Mike Norvell, defensive coordinator Tony White, and graduate assistant Jaleel McRae when revealing the news on social media.
Figaro is a member of the 2028 class, but with an interesting caveat.

A few months ago, Figaro transferred from Malden Catholic High School to Dexter Southfield School. In the process, he reclassified from the 2027 class to the 2028 class.
In an age when the majority of prospects who reclassify do so to move up a year, Figaro chose a different path.

The move has paid off so far. Figaro has reported 20+ offers since February, with programs such as Notre Dame, Texas Tech, Tennessee, Ole Miss, and Kentucky joining his recruitment.
The next step for the Seminoles will be getting Figaro to campus.
The 6-foot-4, 205-pound defensive end is regarded as the No. 283 overall prospect, the No. 27 EDGE, and the No. 4 recruit in Massachusetts in the 2028 class, according to the 247Sports Composite Ratings.
