Hueytown’s Undrafted Back Aims for Titans Breakthrough
Former Florida State running back Roydell Williams, undrafted in the 2026 NFL Draft, has accepted an invite to the Tennessee Titans’ Rookie Minicamp in May. After two years at FSU hampered by injuries and limited carries, Williams totaled 1,264 collegiate yards and 15 touchdowns. In Nashville, he’ll compete behind veterans Tony Pollard and Tyjae Spears and new back Nicholas Singleton, while trying to prove his downhill, one-cut style can bolster a Titans front that struggled in run blocking last season.
It’s the classic story: one man, his turf shirt, and a hopeless climb up coaching depth charts. Williams will don pads and hope to impress a staff that once thought “versatility” meant knowing how to fetch coffee. Expect dramatic slow-motion runs, sideline high-fives, and at least one coach dramatically proclaiming, “He’s got the heart of a Titan… or something.” May the offseason workouts be merciful and the protein shakes ever flowing.
Seminoles’ Receiver Dreams Derailed by Gator and Hokie Invites
A pair of Florida State’s prized 2027 wide receiver targets, four-star Anthony Jennings and three-star AJ Roberts, opted for other programs over the Seminoles. Jennings chose Florida, spurning FSU after a lengthy courtship and a planned June visit, while Roberts committed to Virginia Tech despite two Tallahassee trips. Both prospects logged impressive high school stats—Jennings with 823 yards and 11 TDs, Roberts with 656 yards and nine TDs—but FSU’s revamped staff couldn’t seal either deal.
Recruiting season feels like speed dating: you gush compliments, share your campus dining hall selfies, and still end up alone on Saturday nights. FSU’s coaches learned the hard way that matching swag decals isn’t enough—sometimes you need a sparkling chapel tour or the promise of honorary Seminole headgear. Meanwhile, Jennings and Roberts ride off into the sunset with other schools, leaving Nole fans clutching their playbooks and wondering if “Will you commit?” is the new “U up?” text of college sports.
Seminoles Toss Scholarship to Under-Radar Sack Machine
Florida State extended a scholarship offer to three-star linebacker Nathan Jones, a rising senior at Notre Dame Prep who posted 84 tackles, 23.5 TFLs, 11.5 sacks, and eight rushing TDs last season. Jones, rated No. 128 among linebackers in the 2027 class, also holds offers from Baylor, Arizona, Kansas State, Washington State, and UNLV. FSU’s interest suggests a potential JACK linebacker role, with official visits yet to be scheduled.
Nothing says “we’ve scoured every rock” like stumbling upon a breakout defender at a prep school you’ve never visited. FSU’s staff looked at their roster, then at Jones’ Instagram highlights, and said, “We’ll take him.” Now, coaches will debate if he fits the “Jack” or “Side Jack” or “Jack in the Box” role, all while fending off other suitors who offer the same green jersey and vision of future glory. The suspense is almost as thrilling as waiting for your coffee to brew.
Seminole Back Earns Surprise 49ers Minicamp Invite
Undrafted Florida State running back Roydell Williams has secured an invitation to the San Francisco 49ers’ Rookie Minicamp in May. The 5’10”, 223-pound bruiser, who played just seven games in 2025 due to injury, impressed scouts with his between-the-tackles power and special teams potential. With the 49ers already stockpiled at running back behind Christian McCaffrey and rookie Kaelon Black, Williams must leverage versatility and sheer grit to earn a roster spot in Kyle Shanahan’s offense.
Nothing screams “Niner nirvana” like a Seminole kid in gold and red, pumping iron beside the Bay. Williams will get his chance to show he can handle Shanahan’s labyrinth of run schemes—or at least carry the ball without tripping over his own shoelaces. Expect plenty of grunts, tackle dummies toppled, and a coach dramatically declaring mid-drill, “He’s got the juice… actually, he’s got more than the juice—he’s got the whole fruit salad.”
