Is Clemson WR Antonio Williams playing this week? Latest from Death Valley

Good news for Clemson fans: Antonio Williams is not listed among the Tigers’ unavailable players for Saturday’s matchup with Syracuse. The ACC Game Day Report, released Saturday morning, showed several Clemson names ruled out — including Juju Preston, Jarvis Green, Jay Haynes, and Ari Watford — but Williams was not among them.

That omission is significant. After missing time earlier this season, Williams has been carefully managed by the staff. His availability gives Cade Klubnik a reliable playmaker in a passing game that has been inconsistent without him.

Why His Return Matters

Williams’ presence adds both explosiveness and balance to Clemson’s offense. Without him, the Tigers have leaned on young wideouts Bryant Wesco and Tyler Brown, but the lack of a proven WR1 has stalled drives at times.

With Williams active, Clemson regains its ability to stretch defenses vertically, opening up running lanes and underneath routes for other weapons. In a game where the Tigers desperately need offensive rhythm, his return could prove decisive.

Bottom Line

Antonio Williams is expected to play against Syracuse. He’s not on the “out” list, meaning Tiger fans should see No. 0 back in action — a major boost for an offense searching for consistency.
