Greg Williams played linebacker in high school, but his 6-4 frame and incredible wingspan showed room for growth so he moved to defensive end when he got to Clemson. As a result, Williams redshirted this past season as he gained weight and muscle and the intricacies of a different position.
He’s right on schedule.
“It’s been a good experience. Just coming in and watching these older guys and sitting around and learning and stuff like that. It’s been a good year,” Williams told TigerNet. “It’s been a slow transition. But you know, I went from linebacker, so coming from linebacker to defensive end wasn’t as hard because at linebacker there’s a lot more to it and defensive end it’s simpler than that.
