CLEMSON – Jordan Williams walked over to the gathered media following Friday’s season-opening practice with a sweat-covered jersey and a tired but happy smile. No more standing on the sidelines for a guy who’s ready to step into a big role.
The Virginia Beach native enters 2019 following a redshirt freshman campaign in 2018 in which he recorded 13 tackles (3.0 for loss), 1.5 sacks and a forced fumble in 147 snaps over 12 games. However, offseason surgery forced him to miss all of spring practice, which he spent looking on as others took the valued snaps.
