Amaree Williams was on track to be a high school senior in 2024 before reclassifying and signing with Florida State. But he still would have been a redshirt candidate, perhaps playing four games as an undersized defensive end.
A plan to have Williams line up at tight end played out well for his development. Williams played 148 snaps, grabbing five catches for 78 yards and two touchdowns. That on-field time has helped in his development and now the planned shift back to defensive end this spring.
“Something I always bring up is I wouldn’t have had a year worth of experience,” Williams said. “Just getting on the field, playing, playing fast, I feel like that’s the biggest thing for me right now is just slowing down everything in my head and just play. I’m an athlete. I’m able to make plays.”
