BREAKING: Clemson transfer DL Tré Williams has Committed to Michigan For 2025 Program!!

Tre Williams, a defensive tackle for Clemson, has committed to Michigan, giving Sherrone Moore and the Wolverines another defensive addition via the transfer portal.

After spending his whole career at Clemson, it was revealed on New Year’s Day that Williams would be logging into the transfer site. Williams has fought a few injuries over that time and has primarily served as a defensive front-line rotational player.

But with 14 tackles (including three for a loss), two sacks, two fumble recoveries, and two pass deflections in 14 games, Williams is coming off the most successful season of his career.

Pro Football Focus gave Williams a good overall defensive grade of 66.3, a tackling grade of 69.4, and a pass rush grade of 68.9 for the previous season. Throughout the season, he was only given credit for one missed tackle and one penalty, demonstrating his extreme discipline as a lineman.

At first, Williams played basketball for St. John’s in Washington, D.C. In the 2020 recruiting cycle, the 247Sports aggregate graded him as a four-star recruit and the 94th best player overall.

Williams, who is listed on Clemson’s website as 6′ 2″ and 315 pounds, is a significant (literally) addition to Michigan’s defense. It has been crucial for Michigan to restock up front after the Wolverines lost Mason Graham and Kenneth Grant to the NFL this offseason.

Through the gateway, Williams will join former Alabama defensive lineman Damon Payne Jr. to support Michigan’s defensive line depth.

The Wolverines have more options than fans may have initially thought thanks to the additions of Payne and Williams, as well as players like Derrick Moore, T.J. Guy, and possibly Rayshaun Benny. This gives Michigan the opportunity to once again have one of the top defensive lines in the Big Ten. The Wolverines are in a better situation than they were when the gateway first opened, but we will have to wait and see what the final result looks like.
