The offseason is a great time for current and former Clemson football players to give back to their communities with youth football camps and donations and we've seen both of those over the past week.
Just this past weekend, star wideout Antonio Williams donated $10,000 of his hard-earned NIL money back to his high school alma mater's booster club after hosting a free youth camp for 200 participants. It was a really cool gesture that I even wrote should make some fans who hate the NIL era appreciate when athletes use part of their earnings to give back.
Also taking place over the weekend was a youth camp hosted by Tee Higgins and a couple of others in Knoxville, Tenn. The former Tiger has become a star in the NFL but he hasn't forgotten where he came from, giving back to the community -- he's from Oak Ridge, Tenn.
Higgins wasn't the only Tiger at the camp, however. He actually teamed up with four-star 2026 athlete commit Shavar Young Jr. at the camp, allowing the soon-to-be high school senior to be a counselor.

It's cool to see Higgins hook up with a future Tiger with the same goal of giving back to the community while also furthering that Clemson brotherhood.
Higgins is a beloved former Clemson football star who has done nothing but good things to represent the Tigers in the NFL and now he's taking another future Tiger under his wing and showing him how to give back to the community and be a valuable member of the program for years to come.
The Clemson family is just different.
