Tyler Brown , who attended Greenville High School, replaced Williams and had four receptions for 43 yards. Williams led Clemson in receiving yards, receptions and receiving touchdowns in 2024. He did not miss a game last season after playing in only five games in 2023 because of lower-body injuries.
