Garrett Williams – Noteworthy
Dabo Swinney wasn’t quite certain what was in the cards for Garrett Williams’ future when he spoke to the media earlier this month, but the Clemson football coach sounded convinced his starting H-back will not be back for the 2019 season. If that is the case, the Tigers have an immediate void to fill. It’s getting thin at the tight end position. “He’s around this spring and is going to be out there helping us, but he’s dealing with his health issues. He’s getting his knee back right and he’s got a lot of things he’s dealing with. But he really wants to go into the military,” Swinney said, referring to Williams’ long-term goal. “Right now, he’s probably not going to be back.” Williams, a redshirt junior from Orlando whose father played at Florida State, has one more year of eligibility remaining. Swinney always holds the scholarships of players with eligibility remaining until they tell him they are leaving with certainty. As a 13-game starter in 2018, Williams was known for his blocking ability, though he also caught one pass for four yards and scored his only touchdown of the season on a rushing score against Florida State in October. – Charleston Post Courier
