The Clemson Tigers won the ACC title last season against the SMU Mustangs before losing to the Texas Longhorns in the first round of the college football playoffs. Clemson is looking to be better next season.
They finished the season with a 10-4 record. Head coach Dabo Swinney is hoping that his team will make a deeper run in the playoffs next season. One of the Tigers star players for next season will be wide receiver Antonio Williams.
Clemson Tigers Wide Receiver Antonio Williams Projected To Be One Of the Top Wide Receivers In 2025 In College Football
Bleacher Report wrote about the seven top wide receivers for the upcoming 2025 college football season. Outside of Jeremiah Smith of the Ohio State Buckeyes and Ryan Williams of the Alabama Crimson Tide, there will be some other names to watch for next season.
One name that Bleacher Report mentioned was Clemson Tigers wide receiver Antonio Williams. Bleacher Report said:
“In what should be a truly stacked receiving corps at Clemson, the best of the talented bunch is Antonio Williams.
During his freshman year in 2022, he snagged four touchdowns and paced the Tigers with 56 receptions and 604 yards. Injuries limited him to five appearances in 2023, but he responded last season with Clemson-best marks of 75 catches, 904 yards and 11 scores.
And there’s a serious chance that production will climb.
Cade Klubnik—who made substantial progress in his second year as a starter—and four starters on the offensive line are back, along with coordinator Garrett Riley. Continuity does not guarantee anything, but this level of familiarity usually isn’t a bad thing.
Clemson will spread the ball around to Bryant Wesco Jr., T.J. Moore and Tyler Brown, but Williams has All-American ability.”
Williams is 5’11” and weighs 190 lbs. Last season, he caught 75 passes for 904 yards receiving and 11 touchdowns, along with averaging 12.1 yards per reception. Williams also rushed for 101 yards on seven carries and one touchdown, along with averaging 14.4 yards per rush.
Potential First-Round Pick In 2026 NFL Draft
Williams has a chance to be a first-round pick in the 2026 NFL Draft at the wide receiver position. He has a chance next season to go over 1,000 yards receiving for the Tigers. Williams is 5’11” and weighs 190 lbs.
It will be interesting to see how often quarterback Kade Klubnik targets Williams next season. There is no doubt that he could be one of the most fascinating wide receivers in college football next year.
