Williams says new D-line is building its own legacy

Fully healthy again, Clemson defensive tackle Jordan Williams is back on the field for fall camp and doing his best to take on a leadership role at a position of need.

The Power Rangers – defensive linemen Clelin Ferrell, Christian Wilkins, Dexter Lawrence and Austin Bryant – have all moved on to the NFL after helping the Tigers capture another national championship in 2018.

So, the redshirt sophomore Williams is trying to step up and be a leader of Clemson’s D-line unit heading into the 2019 season. The Virginia Beach native is taking it upon himself to be a presence that younger players such as Ruke Orhorhoro, Darnell Jefferies, Etinosa Rueben and Tyler Davis can look up to, learn from and lean on.
