Update: Williamson decommits from Vols after FSU visit; 'Noles impress pair
MONDAY AFTERNOON UPDATE
Darion Williamson, one of the two official visitors from this past weekend, announced on Monday that he has in fact decommitted from Tennessee.
FIRST REPORT
With a slew of underclassmen on campus this weekend for Junior Day, Florida State's football coaches only brought in a couple of 2020 prospects for official visits -- high school teammates Darion Williamson and Markeston Douglas from Brownsville, Tenn.
And whatever the Seminoles lacked in quantity, they might have made up for in quality.
As the only two official visitors, Williamson and Douglas got to spend a great deal of time with recruiting coordinator David Johnson, head coach Mike Norvell and their potential position coaches. And while neither prospect committed to Florida State during the visit, they both said that the 'Noles now sit at the top of their lists with about 10 days remaining until National Signing Day.

Vols commit Williamson says FSU now on top
Darion Williamson has been committed to the Tennessee Volunteers since July, so the three-star athlete had a lot of things he wanted to see during his official visit to Florida State.
Williamson arrived at noon on Friday and left 48 hours later. And from the sounds of things, the Seminoles' coaches and staff members gave him plenty to think about.
"It was great. It was a very fun weekend, and everything was really exciting," Williamson said. "FSU likes me at receiver. They showed me their offense in the staff meeting and film. I know what Coach Norvell runs at Memphis extremely well."
While he has the skills to play multiple positions, the Tennessee product said he likes the idea of being a receiver in Norvell's offense. He also is obviously familiar with recruiting coordinator David Johnson, who came to FSU from the Volunteers staff.
"Coach Johnson has been my main contact to FSU," Williamson said. "We had developed a great relationship when he was at Tennessee, and it has strengthened since then."
