Clemson receiver Antonio Williams is hoping for a do-over of his sophomore season.
The former four-star recruit from Dutch Fork High School (Irmo, S.C.) received a medical redshirt after playing in just four regular-season games a year ago due to foot injuries that cost him much of the 2023 campaign.
After appearing in the Tigers’ first three contests against Duke, Charleston Southern and Florida Atlantic, Williams made only one more appearance during the regular season: the team’s 28-20 double-overtime win against Miami on October 21.
Williams returned in time to play in Clemson’s 38-35 Gator Bowl victory over Kentucky. His clutch 16-yard reception on the 3rd-and-18 play on the Tigers’ game-winning drive helped the team complete a comeback in which they scored 28 points in the fourth quarter. Williams finished with five catches for 32 yards against Kentucky.
He was back on the practice field this week and had a lot to say about his hopes for 2024, the competition in the receivers room at Clemson, and more.
Here’s everything Williams said to reporters after Monday’s practice session.
