Clemson transfer defensive lineman Tre Williams is visiting Michigan on Friday, according to On3’s EJ Holland. The Michigan Wolverines are predicted to land Williams, according to On3’s EJ Holland. On3’s Pete Nakos also reported on Friday that the Wolverines are currently in the lead for Williams’ services.

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 after he left Clemson following the 2024 campaign.

Clemson finished with a 10-4 overall record after they lost to the Texas Longhorns in the 2024-2025 College Football Playoffs. The Tigers lost 38-24 in the first round. Clemson punched their tickets to the CFP after they won a thrilling 34-31 ACC Championship game against the SMU Mustangs. Freshman wideout Bryant Wesco Jr. hauled in 143 receiving yards in that one.

Michigan football finished with an 8-5 overall record in the 2024-2025 season. They finished off the year with a ReliaQuest Bowl victory over the Alabama Crimson Tide. Michigan landed one of the most coveted quarterback prospects in the 2025 cycle in signal-caller Bryce Underwood. He practiced with the team leading up to the ReliaQuest Bowl.
