Swinney on Williams: ‘Clemson people are going to love him’

When Clemson head coach Dabo Swinney thinks of incoming freshman defensive tackle Tre Williams, he is reminded of another defensive tackle who played for the Tigers not too long ago and departed as one of the most decorated and beloved figures to ever wear the orange and white.

Swinney likens Williams to former Clemson All-American Christian Wilkins and believes Williams will also be a fan favorite once the Tiger faithful get to know him.

Williams is expected to enroll later next month with the other summer enrollees in Clemson’s 2020 signing class.

“Clemson people are going to love him,” Swinney said after Williams signed in December.
