On Friday, Ole Miss landed a commitment from Tavares (Fla.) High linebacker Izayia Williams.
Williams is a blue-chip recruit and ranked as one of the very best prospects in the entire 2026 class. But his recruitment has been a whirlwind, to say the least, and it suggests Ole Miss will have to do some convincing to see this one through.
The 6-foot-1 backer initially committed to Louisville in November 2023. He left the Cardinals’ class the following January. In April 2024, he committed to Syracuse, but backed off that pledge in August. After a visit to Florida State in September 2024, Williams gave his verbal pledge to the Seminoles. He left Florida State’s class 2 months later.
He committed to Florida in early March. He then took an official visit to Oxford this past weekend.

— Izayia williams (@izayia_williams) May 2, 2025Williams is ranked as the third-best linebacker in his class and the sixth-best prospect from the state of Florida. He’s a 4-star recruit in the industry-generated Composite and ranked as the 51st overall recruit in the country.
It’s not immediately clear if Williams intends to go on his remaining visits, but he has OVs scheduled to Penn State (May 17), Georgia (May 30), Alabama (June 6), Florida (June 13), Colorado (June 17), and Florida State (June 20).
Williams is a decorated athlete for Tavares. He’s a 2-time regional qualifier in the long jump. He qualified for regionals in the 100-meter and shot put as a sophomore. He had 7 tackles in the Under Armour All-America Game earlier this year. As a junior last fall, he made 125 tackles with 15 tackles for loss, 4 sacks, and an interception. He also recorded 423 rushing yards, 97 receiving yards, and 10 total touchdowns on offense.
His verbal gives the Rebels 6 known commitments for the 2026 class. Florida is left with just 1 known commit.
