Former Florida State wide receiver Hykeem Williams has found a new home.
Williams committed to Colorado, he announced Tuesday afternoon. The decision comes less than two weeks after the 6-foot-2, 218-pound pass catcher entered the NCAA Transfer Portal. Williams revealed his decision in a post on Instagram.
“SKO BUFFS!!!🦬🦬🦬#WeComing🦬,” he wrote in the caption.
The No. 3 wide receiver and No. 30 overall prospect in the 2023 class, according to 247Sports’ Composite Rankings, Williams signed with FSU in December 2022 and enrolled in Tallahassee the following month.
As a true freshman, the Fort Lauderdale native appeared in eight games and logged five receptions for 80 yards and one touchdown, finding the end zone on a 44-yard reception in a win over Syracuse.
Last season, Williams played in nine contests and recorded 16 catches for 187 yards and one score, a 10–yard touchdown against Charleston Southern. Williams also produced a career-high four receptions for 53 yards against Clemson.
“He is still a true sophomore. He battled with an injury at the beginning of the year, but seeing him have a couple of big catches was good,” FSU head coach Mike Norvell said about Williams back in November.

With their top four leading receivers from 2024 all gone, Colorado has been busy reloading in the transfer portal this offseason.
Drelon Miller (32 catches, 277 yards, three touchdowns) and Omarion Miller (10 catches, 216 yards, one TD) are back for the Buffaloes, who have now landed Williams to go with fellow transfers Joseph Williams, Terrell Timmons Jr and Isaiah Hardge.
Colorado also landed four-star, top-50 prospect Quanell Farrakhan Jr. The Buffaloes are coming off a 9-4 season that ended with a loss to BYU in the Fiesta Bowl.
