CLEMSON, S.C. — Antonio Williams will have one more season in Orange.
Clemson's leading receiver in 2022 and 2024 announced on social media Friday he will return to the Tiger program for his senior season.
The Dutch Fork product just wrapped up a more than solid junior campaign of 2024, where he was named First Team All-ACC for the first time. He led the team and set career highs with 75 receptions for 904 yards and 11 touchdowns. Williams also added seven carries for 101 yards and a touchdown and was 2-for-2 passing for 62 yards with a touchdown pass. He joins C.J. Spiller (2008 and 2009), Jacoby Ford (2009) and Sammy Watkins (2012) as Clemson players since 2000 to record a passing touchdown, a rushing touchdown and a receiving touchdown in a single season.
In the ACC Championship game against SMU, Williams caught a 17-yard pass from Cade Klubnik with three seconds left to set up the game-winning 56-yard field goal by Nolan Hauser. WIlliams caught the pass and alert dove forward for roughly three extra yards to stop the clock. One timeout later, Hauser delivered the heroics of a 56-yard field goal as time expired to send Clemson to the CFB Playoff.
A freshman All-American in 2022, Williams has posted career totals of 153 catches for 1,732 yards and 17 touchdowns. He has caught at least one pass in each of the 33 games he has appeared in while at Clemson.
