Signing to play football at Clemson is a big deal for any kid in South Carolina but it took on a little extra meaning this season.
Swansea linebacker Greg Williams was the lone in-state signee when he made it official and signed with the Tigers on Wednesday on the first day of the early signing period for football.
“I take a lot of pride in it,” Williams said. “It is something special because everybody looks to go in these big time states but we got talent here in South Carolina.”
Two years ago, Northwestern’s Logan Rudolph was Clemson’s lone in-state signee, although Will Swinney, son of head coach Dabo Swinney, walked on and later earned a scholarship.
