Like Clemson fans, Dabo Swinney is thrilled that the Tigers’ star wide receiver, Antonio Williams, is set to return for a massive ACC road matchup against Miami.
After practice on Wednesday, Swinney met with the media and discussed the return of Williams to the offense. Missing the Tigers’ last three games with an ankle injury, Williams is back and ready to go against the Hurricanes.
“I’m really excited,” Swinney said. “Again, it’s been a long three games not having one of our best players out there. So, he’s excited, we’re excited. It’s obviously been a while since he’s played a game, but just glad to get him back going for sure.”
Williams was the Tigers’ leading receiver in 2022 as a true freshman and was on track for another excellent season before the ankle injury. This is a huge addition back into Clemson’s starting lineup that should help starting quarterback Cade Klubnik continue his development and bounce back after a shaky performance against Wake Forest.
