Clemson stayed in the Palmetto State for its 2022 receiver commits, with 4-star
Antonio Williams jumping on board this month.
More on Williams... Committed since: 12/9/21. Listed size: 6-0 180. Notable: The MaxPreps player of the year in South Carolina, Williams totaled 85 catches for 1,625 yards with 15 touchdowns and 195 rushing yards and another TD over 14 games this season. Quotable: "Love this get for Clemson. Very natural skill set for the position. Plays with excellent route tempo and feel as a route runner. Understands leverage, has no issues creating consistent separation with very good short area quickness and suddenness. Good after the catch too and has the versatility to play inside out. About as solid as they come. One of my favorites of the cycle." - 247Sports analyst Cooper Petagna (source) Depth chart fit: Injuries and transfers have greatly affected Clemson’s wide receivers group and Williams could very well be competing with former Dutch Fork (SC) teammate Will Taylor for snaps, if Taylor doesn’t stay with the QB group after injury rehab (knee). Williams could bring something the offense was missing sooner rather than later. Both he and Myrtle Beach’s Adam Randall will have a shot to play early.
