Michigan football has had something of a small hiatus from getting transfer portal commitments, but that ends now.
Tre Williams has struggled staying healthy while at Clemson, but when he has, he’s been a terror at defensive tackle
Hailing from the 2020 class, the former Washington (D.C.) St. Johns (the same school as outgoing Michigan safety Quinten Johnson) product got his start at Clemson. But his injury-riddled career meant that the 6-foot-3, 310-pound defensive tackle wasn’t quite as productive as his four-star ranking.
Now Williams, upon visiting Ann Arbor just days after entering the transfer portal, has seen all he needs to see as he committed to Michigan football on Saturday morning.

Here is how Williams originally ranked according to the recruiting services:
* | Ovr | Pos | St | |
247Sports Composite | 4 | 94 | 11 | 3 |
On3 Industry Ranking | 4 | 107 | 15 | 3 |
247Sports | 4 | 73 | 10 | 2 |
On3 | – | – | – | – |
ESPN | 4 | 44 | 6 | 3 |
Rivals | 4 | 215 | 17 | 4 |
Though he ended up at Clemson, Williams was originally predicted to Ohio State by two 247Sports analysts.
Michigan football already had gotten one transfer portal defensive tackle in former Belleville (Mich.) and Alabama DT Damon Payne. The Wolverines are also targeting another Clemson player in wide receiver Tony Stellato.
