Solé Williams embraces new leadership role for Florida State basketball

Solé Williams is stepping into a new leadership role for Florida State basketball as the Seminoles look to rebound after a tough 2025-26 season. The senior guard, led by head coach Brooke Wyckoff, finished the prior campaign with team-leading scoring at 15.1 points per game and posted a 10-21 overall record, including a 5-13 mark in ACC play. Williams said she did not consider entering the transfer portal, citing her belief in Wyckoff and the program’s direction. For the first time in her college career, she is expected to set the tone rather than look to veteran teammates for guidance. Wyckoff characterized Williams as poised to continue her breakout production while growing into a floor-general role, emphasizing that leadership development will take time.
