#Clemson wide receiver Williams, #Gamecocks offensive tackle Thompson sign their 2025 NIL contracts

While Clemson media and fans ansxiously awai the puffs of black smoke to billow above the Dabo Swinney mansion signifying how many heads will roll from the defensive staff, the offensive staff has no such worries. And now theyi don’t have to worry about losing leading receiver Antonio Williams to the NFL

Clemson’s 110 Society, the NIL arm of the athletic department, announced Friday that Williams had signed his NIL deal for the 2025 season. Williams had toyed with the idea of entering the NFL Draft after completing his third season with the Tigers.

For his career Williams has 153 catches for 1732 yards and 17 touchdowns.

This season was by far his best with the Tigers. Numer one, he stayed healthy all season. That led to team highs of 75 catches for 904 yards and 11 touchdowns.

With Williams secured for next season, Clemson offensive coordinator Garrett Riley can count on having three of his top four receivers in terms of catches back for 2025.

At South Carolina Friday, the Gamecocks were ensured of the return of their standout freshman left tackle Josiah Thompson for the 2025 season. The Garnet Trust, the NIL wing of the athletic program, announced Thompson had signed his contract for next season.

Thompson, a Dillon native, was an immediate success this season starting from day one and starting every game except for the Missouri game which he missed due to an injury.
