The nation's top-rated safety for 2021 has Clemson in his top-5 schools.

Opa Locka, Florida's James Williams announced his top-5 via Twitter late Wednesday, also including Alabama, Auburn, Georgia and Miami.

Williams added a Clemson offer in May after a visit to campus.

“Clemson does it well because they do things outside of football," Williams told the AJC after the visit. "Do things with the kids. Travel with the guys. Have fun. Make it feel like a home and a family there.”
