Clemson defensive lineman Tre Williams enters NCAA Transfer Portal

Clemson Tigers defensive lineman Tre Williams has entered the NCAA Transfer Portal, according to On3’s Pete Nakos.

Williams played high school football at St. John’s (Washington, DC), where he was a four-star prospect. He was the No. 107 overall recruit in the 2020 cycle, according to the On3 Industry Ranking, a weighted average that utilizes all four major recruiting media companies.

Over the course of his five seasons with the Tigers, Williams has amassed 37 total tackles and 4.0 sacks. Wherever he ends up in 2025, he’ll be hoping to shatter his previous numbers, and blossom into the player he’s always seemed destined to become.

As a recruit, Williams held offers from a number of programs, including Georgia, Alabama, LSU and Ohio State. It remains to be seen if any of those big brands decide to revisit the defensive lineman as he chooses to leave Clemson after the 2024 campaign.
