He suffered the injury while catching a touchdown pass against Wofford. Williams was a second-team All-ACC selection in 2014. Scott led Clemson in receptions last year with 93 for a team best 901 yards and six scores. The reception total was second best in Clemson history. For his career he has 169 receptions, more than any other active ACC receiver. He also has 1866 receiving yards and 14 scores. He has been a first-team All-ACC selection each of the last two years.
