Mickey Plyler on Jordan Williams: Clemson loves their defensive ends to be ready made. This is exactly what Williams brings. He looks like Clelin Ferrell, Austin Bryant, Shaq Lawson, Xavier Kelly. he has a great frame. Williams won't have to change his body to compete. I would be surprised if he is red-shirted if he stays healthy.

Reminds Plyler of: Austin Bryant
