The Tuscaloosa to Tallahassee pipeline is continuing to grow for Florida State football.
Running back Roydell Williams became the fourth addition for the Seminoles in the NCAA Transfer Portal Saturday when he committed to FSU. He is the second running back add for FSU in this portal cycle.
Williams attended Hueytown High in Hueytown, Alabama and was ranked as a 4-star prospect and the No. 112 player overall by 247Sports.
In 45 games for the Crimson Tide, Williams ran 234 times for 1,165 yards and 11 touchdowns. He also added 21 catches for 152 yards and two TDs in the air, while also returning two kicks for 51 yards.
This past season, he appeared in 14 games, rushing for 560 yards on 111 rushing attempts with five touchdowns.
He is ranked as the No. 76 overall transfer in the nation and No. 7 running back. Williams is expected to have one year of eligibility remaining.
Williams committed to the Seminoles following a two-day official visit to Tallahassee. He joins wide receiver Malik Benson Jr., defensive back Earl Little Jr. and offensive lineman Terrence Ferguson as former Crimson Tide players to join the program.
All four players entered the portal before the retirement of legendary Alabama head coach Nick Saban. The Crimson Tide pursued FSU head coach Mike Norvell before hiring Washington head coach Kalen DeBoer.
Williams joins Jaylin Lucas (Indiana) as a running back transfer. With Trey Benson (draft), Rodney Hill (portal) and CJ Campbell (portal) all leaving, Williams will join Lawrance Toafili, Caziah Holmes, Samuel Singleton, Kam Davis and Micahi Danzy in the running back room.
FSU has now added 12 transfer players in this portal cycle.
