Why Roydell Williams decided to return to Florida State football after injury-plagued 2024 Florida State Seminoles football senior RB Roydell Williams looks to take advantage of his final year after battling injuries last season.
Announced as starter Williams is starting for the Seminoles in Saturday's season finale against Florida, Curt Weiler of Rivals.com reports.
Impact Williams will immediately get a start in what will likely be his final game with the program. He and Lawrance Toafili should see a split of carries out of the backfield.

In uniform Williams (undisclosed) is in uniform ahead of Saturday's game against Florida, Dustin Lewis of SI Now reports.
Impact Williams hasn't played since late September and appears he'll be available for the last game of the season. Prior to his injury, the senior had 20 carries for 54 yards and two scores, and he could be active again in the redzone upon his return.

Could be available against Florida Williams (undisclosed) could be available for Florida State's game against Florida on Nov. 30, Curt Weiler of Rivals.com reports.
Impact Having played only three games in 2024, Williams can log one more and still redshirt the year's season. Currently, the Seminoles are expected to finish their 2024 campaign with a rivalry game, perhaps a perfect setting for him to return and finish what has been an unfortunate season on a high note. This does mean Williams will sit out the Seminoles' matchup this Saturday against Charleston Southern.

Remaining out against UNC Williams (undisclosed) will not appear in Saturday's showdown with the Tarheels, Rivals.com reports.
Impact Williams will miss his sixth-consecutive game as the Seminoles host UNC on Saturday. The 5-foot-10 senior who tallied 618 total yards and six touchdowns with FSU last season, has been dealing with an undisclosed injury for the majority of the season. Williams' next opportunity to return will come against Notre Dame in Week 11, but his status moving forward is unknown.

Out again Saturday Williams (undisclosed) is out for Saturday's game at Miami, Dustin Lewis of SI.com reports.
Impact Williams will miss his fifth consecutive game Saturday as he continues to work through his long-term undisclosed injury. With Kam Davis (undisclosed) also out, the Seminoles will be thin at running back versus the No. 6 Hurricanes. Lawrence Toafili figures to have a heavy workload without his top two backups.

Out for extended period Williams (undisclosed) will be out for "an extended period" due to his current injury, Brendan Sonnone of 247Sports reports.
Impact Williams being excluded from Florida State's depth chart was an indication of what would come. He will sit out FSU's game Saturday at SMU, and his absence could make its way into October.

Excluded from depth chart Williams (undisclosed) is excluded from the Seminoles' depth chart for their game Saturday at SMU, Brendan Sonnone of 247Sports.com reports.
Impact Williams not being part of the Seminoles' depth chart for Saturday worsens his availability status then from questionable to doubtful. In place of him, Lawrance Toafili and Kam Davis are the Seminoles' top options at running back.

Out vs. California Williams (undisclosed) is injured and won't play vs. California, Pete Thamel of ESPN.com reports.
Impact Williams' injury should open the door for Lawrence Taofili to start at tailback for the Seminoles. It's unclear what's ailing Williams, as he wasn't reported to be injured early in the week. His next chance to play will come on Sep. 28 against SMU.

Struggled in loss to BC Williams had three carries for 10 yards during monday's 28-13 loss to Boston College.
Impact Williams didn't see much action on Monday as the Seminoles were unable to establish any kind of running game against Boston College.
SEPTEMBER 3, 2024 • ROTOWIRE
Touchdown in season opener Williams compiled 12 carries for 38 yards and one touchdown and reeled in 3 of 2 targets for 31 yards during Saturday's 24-21 loss against Georgia Tech.
Impact Williams found the end zone in his first game with the Seminoles, giving him a respectable total on the day. Williams and running mate Lawrance Toafili split snaps in the backfield (Toafili 11 touches to 15 for Williams). Both backs were productive when they were given an opportunity, the two man attack will likely be here to stay barring injury.
