Miami Hurricanes trying hard to flip Florida State 5-star wide receiver pledge Hykeem Williams

Hykeem Williams discussed his recruitment following his high school game Friday

Stranahan High School (Florida) wide receiver Hykeem Williams is one of the top players in the state of Florida.

The 6-foot-3, 200-pound pass-catcher is rated a five-star prospect, the nation's No. 23 overall prospect and the No. 4 wide receiver.

That makes him the unquestioned headliner of the Florida State Seminoles class.

But a few schools are working to change that and flip him, including Alabama, Miami and Texas A&M.

After Friday's game, Williams said Miami is working very hard to flip and has a clear message: "You've got to be a Cane. You've got to stay home." 

The dynamic playmaker visited Miami earlier this month, then made a return trip to Florida State last weekend.

With his commitment already in hand, as well as the most recent visit, Florida State is obviously in great shape to keep Williams in the fold

But teams are trying - and Williams hasn't totally tuned out those messages.
