Future Clemson-USC rivals Pickens, Williams struck up friendship

For the next four years, Zacch Pickens and Greg Williams will be on opposite ends of the South Carolina and Clemson football rivalry.

Pickens, the T.L. Hanna lineman, was No. 1 recruit in South Carolina. Williams, a Swansea linebacker, is the only Clemson signee from the state for the Class of 2019.

But for one week, they were teammates and struck up a friendship during the Shrine Bowl. The two defensive players each had a hand in helping the South Carolina squad to a 10-10 with North Carolina at Gibbs Stadium.
