Junior cornerback P.J. Williams is the first of Florida State's underclassmen to declare for early entry to the 2015 NFL Draft. He made his announcement via Twitter on Tuesday:

I will be taking my talent to the NFL, I wanna thank the NoleNation for some of the best 3 years of my life, the memories will never fade!!💯- Pj Williams (@PjWilliams_26) January 6, 2015

He was the first of Florida State's underclassmen to announce his intentions for this spring's NFL draft.

"I'd like to thank P.J. for the three great years he had here at Florida State," head coach Jimbo Fisher said in a press release on Wednesday. "He was a tremendous player, but more importantly he is a tremendous person. It was fun to watch him grow as a person, a student and as a player. He made huge contributions to our organization and I think he'll have a tremendous pro career. I'm very excited for he and his family, and wish him nothing but the best."

Williams was a first-team All-ACC selection as a junior in 2014 and was an honorable mention All-ACC selection as a junior. He started 26 of the Seminoles' 28 games over the last two seasons and played in all 14 games as a true freshman in 2012.

He was a semifinalist for the Jim Thorpe Award this year, given to the nation's best defensive back. He was also the defensive MVP in FSU's 2013 national championship win over Auburn.

Williams, who has good size for a corner at 6-foot and 196 pounds, had 74 tackles and 6.5 tackles for loss this year. He also had one sack and one interception to go with 10 pass breakups.

Some projections had Williams as high as the first round in April's NFL Draft. Both he and fellow starting cornerback Ronald Darby were considered candidates to leave school after their junior seasons. Other candidates to leave early are QB Jameis Winston, DE Mario Edwards Jr., DT Eddie Goldman and PK Roberto Aguayo.
