Antonio Williams News, Rumors, Updates - Clemson Tigers

Out for bowl, draft sole focus Williams (undisclosed) is out for the Pinstripe Bowl and will shift his focus to the 2026 NFL Draft, Jon Blau of The Charleston Post and Courier reports.

Impact Williams, who will forgo one year of collegiate eligibility, declared for the 2026 NFL Draft less than a week before Blau's latest update, so the wide receiver being out for the Pinstripe Bowl assures that professional football is his next focus. In three of four seasons with Clemson, Williams logged at least 50 receptions, 600 receiving yards and four touchdowns.

Declares for 2026 NFL Draft Williams has declared for the 2026 NFL Draft, per Chapel Fowler of The Columbia State.

Impact Williams will enter the 2026 NFL Draft, foregoing his remaining eligibility. The wideout's status for Clemson's tilt with Penn State in the Pinstripe Bowl is uncertain, as he has yet to specify his status. The receiver was a problem all four years with the Tigers, and he totaled 2,336 receiving yards and 21 receiving touchdowns, while picking up 179 yards and two scores on the ground.

Productive outing in win Williams caught 7 of 13 targets for 66 yards while rushing for nine yards on one carry during Saturday's 28-14 win over South Carolina.

Impact Williams' 75 total yards won't jump off the page, but that's the highest total he's recorded since Week 10 against Duke and his third-highest yardage output this fall. Williams' 2025 campaign was cut two games short with an injury, and even when he did play, he wasn't as dynamic was we've grown accustomed to seeing, as the Tigers' offense sputtered through parts of the season. He still reeled in 55 grabs for 604 yards and four touchdowns, but now appears to be out of eligibility and figures to set his sights on the NFL.

Catches two touchdowns Williams gathered in 2 of 3 targets for 57 yards and two touchdowns during Saturday's 45-10 victory against Furman.

Impact Williams caught three passes, two of which found the end zone, and called it a day as the Tigers easily rolled over Furman. The star wideout should re-assume his normal target volume in the regular season finale against South Carolina.

Held in check vs. Louisville Williams caught 7 of 9 targets for 52 yards during Friday's 20-19 win against Louisville.

Impact Williams was rather quiet against the Cardinals as Clemson got a narrow victory on Friday night. The star wideout was coming off two straight games with a touchdown, but was limited to his lowest yardage output since Week 6 against North Carolina. Williams has an excellent chance to bounce back in Week 13, as Clemson hosts FCS Furman.

NOVEMBER 17 • ROTOWIRE

Scores vs. Florida State Williams hauled in all six targets for 62 yards and one touchdown during Saturday's 24-10 victory over Florida State.

Impact Williams followed up his huge game against Duke with another solid outing as Clemson bounced back against the Seminoles. He now has a touchdown in back-to-back games and could be heating up as the Tigers' season winds down. His quarterback Cade Klubnik has also turned his play around in the latter half of the season, so that certainly helps.

Feasts on Duke secondary Williams hauled in 10 of 12 targets for 142 yards and one touchdown during Saturday's 46-45 loss against Duke.

Impact After what's been a quiet season for the star receiver, Williams exploded against Duke with a season-best 142 yards on a season-best 10 catches. He also scored his first touchdown of the 2025 campaign. It was a cathartic performance for the star slot receiver, but unfortunately for Clemson, not enough to beat Duke as the Tigers fell to a shocking 3-5 on the season.

Reels in all six targets Williams caught all six targets for 54 yards during Saturday's 35-24 loss versus Southern Methodist.

Impact Williams' outing was modest, as Clemson's backup quarterback Christopher Vizzina spread the ball around pretty evenly in the loss to SMU. Williams still saw his fare share of looks, but couldn't generate anything explosive as the Tigers continued to slide down the table in the ACC. After a Week 9 bye, Williams will look to score his first touchdown of the 2025 campaign against Duke on Nov. 1.

OCTOBER 20 • ROTOWIRE

Solid day as Tigers cruise Williams caught 7 of 8 targets for 85 yards during Saturday's 41-10 win against Boston College.

Impact Williams' seven catches were a season high, but the receiver also notably tallied three carries for 32 yards in the blowout win over Boston College. It's been a slow start to the year for the star wideout, but it's good to see him see plenty of touches as Clemson's offense looks to be on the upswing.

OCTOBER 13 • ROTOWIRE

Quiet day in blowout Williams totaled five receptions (on six targets) for 37 yards during Saturday's 38-10 win versus North Carolina.

Impact Clemson destroyed UNC, but unfortunately Williams wasn't one of the primary beneficiaries of said lopsided win. The wideout now has five grabs in back-to-back games, which is a good start after he missed time early in the year. Still, from a fantasy perspective, Williams has yet to offer up anything playable this season. He'll look to get more involved against a weak Boston College defense this Saturday.

Best day yet in loss Williams caught 5 of 9 targets for 49 yards during Saturday's 34-21 defeat versus Syracuse.

Impact Williams has had an injury-riddled start to his 2025 campaign, but he finally managed to put together a solid day even as the Tigers dropped to a dismal 1-3. He saw a strong nine targets, but Clemson also aired it out 60 times trying to catch up to Syracuse all game. Bryant Wesco remains the alpha of this receiver room, but Williams figures to get more and more involved if he can stay on the field.

He hasn't played since Week 1 against LSU, and his return should provide a big boost to a Tigers' passing game that's struggled as Clemson has limped out to a 1-2 start.
