Clemson Wide Receiver Antonio Williams Signs NIL Deal with Nike
Clemson Tigers wide receiver Antonio Williams has secured a Name, Image, and Likeness (NIL) deal with Nike, as reported by On3. The partnership comes as Williams returns to full health after an injury sustained in the season opener against LSU.
Williams missed the two games following the LSU contest but made a accomplished return against Syracuse, recording five receptions for 49 yards. The deal with Nike provides Williams with a notable opportunity to capitalize on his athletic profile and growing visibility within college football. Clemson currently holds a 1-3 record and is looking to rebound during its upcoming game against North Carolina.
Clemson head coach Dabo Swinney recently praised the leadership within his team, highlighting a group he refers to as “The Council” for their maturity and thoughtful approach, even amidst the team’s challenging start to the season.”I wouldn’t say anyone has surprised me, but I have been very impressed by some of these guys,” Swinney said.”We have what we call ‘The Council’ and man, if y’all could hear these guys articulate…We’ve got some amazing young men that they’re just wired really well and they can think.”
