Former Florida State standout wide receiver signs with Colorado, having earned a coveted 5-star rating
Freshening Up the Draft's Aftermath
Deion Sanders, the energizing head coach of the Colorado Buffaloes, is back to business after the NFL Draft. On a Tuesday bustle, the legendary NFL player managed to secure a standout transfer from Florida State via the NCAA portal - Hykeem Williams, a 6-foot-2 wide receiver.
Tuesday marked the official welcome of Hykeem Williams to the Buffaloes' roster. With a chance to make an immediate impact, Williams previously found himself on the reserve bench at Florida State for the past two seasons. Now, he steps into a golden opportunity to shine as a potential top pass-catcher in Colorado.
Prior to his stint in Colorado, Williams' career with the Seminoles yielded 21 receptions, 267 receiving yards, and 2 touchdowns. The Buffaloes are building quite the receiver corps for the upcoming season, with Williams joining a roster that already includes Omarion Miller, Joseph Williams, Dre'lon Miller, and incoming freshman Quanell Farrakhan Jr.
At 57, Sanders is ever eager to maintain and enhance the promising trajectory Colorado seems to be on. Despite a somewhat shaky debut season with a 4-8 record, Colorado managed to secure a 9-4 record in the 2024-25 campaign, eventually qualifying for a bowl game for the first time since 2020. Alas, their dream to secure a win in the Alamo Bowl against the BYU Cougars remained unfulfilled, with the final score being 36-14.
Preparing for his third season with the Buffaloes, Deion Sanders has high hopes for the team despite the departures of his son, Shedeur Sanders, and prominent two-way player, Travis Hunter, for the NFL. The Buffaloes' 2025-26 season will kick off with a grand duel against the Georgia Tech Yellow Jackets on August 29, 2025. Buckle up, fellow Buffaloes fans!
