Clemson head coach Dabo Swinney and his staff saw a lot of potential in Greg Williams while watching him work out at Swinney’s football camp two summers ago. The Tigers liked him so much they decided to offer him, and the Swansea, S.C., native committed a couple of weeks later.
A linebacker in high school, Williams moved to defensive end upon his arrival to Clemson in the summer of 2019 and made strides in his development while redshirting as a true freshman last season. The former Shrine Bowl participant from Swansea High School is still fairly raw but has a better understanding of how to play the position now, and his talent really started to show up on the practice field this spring.
