Noles News: FSU adds another blue-chip player to 2024 class
Florida State Seminoles football picked up another major player as part of its 2024 class, with four-star defensive end Amaree Williams announcing on Saturday that he’ll be continuing his career in Tallahassee.
From NoleThruandThru:
Williams, listed at 6’4” and 215 pounds, decided to reclassify from the 2025 cycle and FSU fans should be happy that he did. When he was ranked alongside 2025 recruits, he was considered the best athlete and the No. 29 overall player in the nation by the 247Sports Composite List (No. 3 in Florida.). Following his reclassification to the 2024 class, he has been ranked as the No. 6 best athlete and 207th overall (No. 27 in FL).
The pickup gave FSU 26 four stars in the eyes of 247Sports and 14 in the eyes of On3, with the sites giving the Seminoles the No. 10 and No. 12 class, respectively:
